We’ve written to Dutch & Colombian ministers thanking them for convening the Santa Marta Conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels. We support the UNFCCC process, but warn fossil fuel interests still distort it. Santa Marta must ensure balance and safe space for communities.

🔥 A 12% jump in fossil fuel lobbyists at COP compared to last year. 📍 Belém is seeing the highest concentration since records began. The industry causing the crisis shouldn’t shape climate solutions. #KickBigPollutersOut gwitness.org/4oA1vUJ
