According to the IPCC, fossil fuels are responsible for nearly 75% of global CO2 emissions. Daniela Durán González, Head of International Affairs for Colombia's Minister of Environmental and Sustainable Development, emphasized that effective mitigation necessitates discussing a just and orderly transition away from fossil fuels.

At the COP30 closing plenary, several Parties, including Panama, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Colombia, formally objected to outcome documents on the Global Goal on Adaptation and the Mitigation Work Program. This alarm was raised due to the continued removal of language on transitioning away from fossil fuels, despite agreements made in the COP28 UAE Consensus. Recent texts still lack these crucial references.
