International climate and energy summit in Colombia

Governments from about 50 countries gathered in Colombia on Friday, April 24, 2026 for a summit about fossil fuels.

The meeting is focused on how the world can move away from oil, gas, and coal in a fair and practical way.

Leaders, experts, and activists are taking part in the event. They want faster action because fossil fuels are the main cause of global warming.

The summit is important because many people believe normal climate talks have moved too slowly. They want stronger discussion about the real source of the problem.

The meeting will not create binding global rules. But it could help build political pressure and new cooperation for cleaner energy in the future.
