This April, governments will meet in Santa Marta, Colombia for a historic conference addressing the phase out of fossil fuels.
Will you be part of history by organising or joining one of more than 1,000 satellite events globally this April?
Join one of the largest ever organising efforts to build power, create momentum, and push policymakers to manage a fast, fair and financed transition away from coal, oil and gas production through negotiation of a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
A change is coming. Will you be a part of it?
On April 28–29, Colombia and the Netherlands will convene a decisive climate summit: The First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, in Santa Marta, Colombia.
What happens next is up to us.
Now is the moment to build a people’s roadmap for a fast, fair, and fully funded fossil fuel phaseout, and to push for a framework to manage this transition through negotiation of a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
What can you do?
Together, we can build the just transition away from fossil fuels from below: the fossil fuel phaseout that we need, for and by the people.
While governments meet in Santa Marta, you can help make this a historic moment by organising one of more than a thousand satellite events around the world.
There are already plans for mini-conferences, protests, strategy workshops, vigils, mass virtual meetings, launches of local groups, flotillas, non-violent direct action, and more.
Colombia is hosting the first ever diplomatic conference on the just transition away from fuels to spark a wave of international cooperation on the phase out of coal, oil and gas. What can you host in your community to be a part of this same fight?
This isn’t like previous Global Days of Action focused on people hitting the streets, it’s a moment to inject significant energy, momentum, coordination and hope into the global movement for a fossil free future.
We cannot leave this transition to governments alone. Be a part of history, by organising yoru community to participate in planning for a fast and fair transition away from fossil fuels, including building political and public support in your region behind the proposal to negotiate a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
Anyone can be involved in this effort, you don’t have to be an expert. We’ll be here to support you every step of the way, whenever you need
Out there in the world, the global context is heavy: wars, climate impacts, social injustices, and all other forms of domination are not separate crises — they are symptoms of the same fossil-fuelled system. As long as coal, oil, and gas underpin power and profit, peace will remain out of reach.
The Santa Marta Conference is a rare opportunity to demand real climate action. Free from polluters and blockers, the summit is a unique opportunity to push governments to move faster, to demand a just transition from below. If you can, we encourage you to register and attend.
But this moment isn’t just about one meeting. It’s the start of a new chapter. The beginning of a process that not only unites nation-states ready to lead a fast and fair phase out of fossil fuels, but also injects significant momentum, power and impact into the global climate justice movement.
Phasing out fossil fuels is not only a climate imperative; it is a condition for justice, sovereignty, and peace. This is a unique moment. One that calls for broad participation — your participation — through distributed actions: you don’t have to be in Santa Marta to shape its impact. The just transition away from fossil fuels requires all of us to participate, everywhere.
The Santa Marta Conference marks a global turning point, led by a coalition of committed governments from the Global South, toward a new non-aligned, fossil-free path. By choosing cooperation over extraction, people power over domination, and by pushing for a Fossil Fuel Treaty, we lay the foundations to revive multilateral cooperation, restore international norms, and accelerate a global just transition away from fossil fuels as a foundation for lasting peace, stability and a healthy, secure, and prosperous future for all.
We need to be part of this effort for a fossil fuel phaseout. By organising satellite events in your area – whether those be “mini Santa Marta conferences”, marches, vigils, ceremonies, local strategy meetings, protests or somethings else – you can help bring the global movement for a just transition back home, to your doorsteps, and build a genuine just transition, by and for the people.
Who are we?This project is coordinated by the following organizations and groups.
It has been initiated and supported by the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative.
