Photo: First Conference Transitioning away from Fossil Fuels
The conference complements formal processes under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement, with an emphasis on practical action and international cooperation.
The event will convene governments, multilateral institutions, cities, Indigenous Peoples, civil society, academia, private sector actors and climate advocates, with a focus on ensuring the energy transition is fair and inclusive, particularly for communities that depend on fossil fuel industries.
SEI is a partner on the academic pre-conference, the Global Science & Policy Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels.

Perspective / Calls in Colombia to increase gas production could set the country down an environmentally and financially perilous path despite cleaner energy alternatives.
Project / Systemic, participatory project enabling renewable energy in Colombia through policy reform, social acceptance, and a just transition narrative.
Project / This project aims to guide offshore wind energy development in Colombia in a way that supports fair outcomes and sustainable local benefits.
Other publication / Governments, in aggregate, still plan to produce far more fossil fuels than would be consistent with limiting global warming to between 1.5ºC and 2ºC.
Project / This project uses an intersectional lens to understand who bears the costs of the energy transition and who benefits from it.
Feature / After years of compiling data, a critical update arrived in December: a map of the Amazon that lays bare the real-time footprint of oil and gas expansion.
Perspective / Global climate action can be won or lost in intermediate-sized cities. SEI experts offer insights on transport policy changes that can drive a greener future.
Perspective / This article is a SEI reflection on just energy transitions in Indigenous contexts.
Feature / An SEI and AIDA report explores how science is transforming climate litigation, the challenges, and future opportunities.
Other publication / A new Oxfam report draws on SEI research highlighting the disproportionate greenhouse gas emissions generated by upper-income populations.
Perspective / Ahead of the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Colombia, SEI experts name their priorities for advancing a fossil-free future.
Perspective / SEI fossil fuel experts weigh in on the successes and challenges of the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, Colombia.
Initiative / The Carbon Lock-In Initiative seeks to uncover and address the barriers that uphold the fossil fuel-based economy.
Tool / This web-based platform tracks fossil fuel infrastructure development and enables users to evaluate potential threats to ecosystems and communities.
Tool / This tool allows you to explore the inequalities in carbon dioxide emissions across the world, by linking emissions to income levels.
Perspective / As we decarbonize our energy system, we must also address the harmful public health and environmental impacts of oil and gas extraction.
Journal article / This article reveals the health burden and racial-ethnic disparities of air pollution from the oil and gas lifecycle stages in the United States.
