A new economic superpower could spark a global retreat from fossil fuels | Eighty-five countries have sought a roadmap to phasing out fossil fuels. A conference this month offers hope they could unite

This gives me hope that, while we’re going to suffer as a species planet, there’s enough sanity and selflessness remaining amongst humanity that we’re not going to snuff ourselves out. I like that they’re learning from COP, and making changes like just needing a majority, not being unanimous.

I couldn’t find which the 85 countries are, anyone have that info?

The conference is co-sponsored by Colombia and the Netherlands, a pairing rich with symbolism: Colombia is the world’s fifth-largest coal exporter, Royal Dutch Shell one of the world’s biggest oil companies.

Royal Dutch Shell has renamed itself to only Shell and has given up its Dutch site moving fully to London.
