CLIMATE ACTION SHOWProduced by Vivien LangfordFebruary 16th 2026B E L E M T O S A N T A M A R T AAt last! The first International Conference focused on the Transition Away from fossil fuel dependence.https://transitionawayconference.com/It will be held at the end of April 2026, in the Colombian Coal Port of Santa Marta.The aim is to create actionable guidelines. It will not replace the UN process but will contribute to the Belem roadmap announced by the COP 30th president in Brazil. It will be the first International conference where actual implementation will be worked on.Should our First Nations Leaders and our Climate Change Minister attend this meeting? So far Chris Bowen is not expected to attend.Let him know what you think:Contact Details for Chris Bowen:Email: chris.bowen.mp@aph.gov.auPhone: (02) 9604 0710 GuestsKumi Naidoo - President of the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation TreatyAt the Santa Marta Conference the many ways we can achieve FF phase out will be explored. A TREATY is one.Oil rich states like East Timor and Colombia have signed but Australia has not.Australia has signed the Belem Declaration and Kumi Naidoo wishes our Climate Minister the Honorable Chris Bowen good luck as the President of Negotiations for the next COP . Chris Bowen's role will be to advance the interests of the Pacific. Australia will have “exclusive authority in relation to the negotiations”, to shape global decision making in support of the multilateral system and the global trade and investment in clean energy industries. The results of this conference will feed into an October conference in the Pacific which will lead to COP31 at the end of the year.Kumi Naidoo also argues for climate action being action for peace. As Colombia's Environment Minister Irene Velez Torres said since the US attack on oil rich Venezuela "We are more sovereign if we are less dependent on exports that are carbon intensive"This is a volatile time to be getting real about fossil fuel phase out, but Kumi Naidoo uses entertaining metaphors to dramatise our urgent need to "Turn off the tap" driving climate chaos. Here is Kumi Naidoo's ABC interview about his new book "What we owe the water."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdYwCSC_RUU Bastiaan Hassing - Programme Lead for the Netherlands at the Santa Marta Summit in ColombiaHe discusses HOW the countries who have already demonstrated a commitment to transition will work on realistic steps. Phasing out subsidies is one way.At COP30 in Belem The Climate Policy Minister of the Netherlands, Sophie Hermans, announced that they would co host with Colombia the First International conference on the phase out of fossil fuels. This is big news. It is outside the UN process but will feed into the next COP in Turkiye.The Netherlands already leads a coalition of 13+countries committed to phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. Australia is not yet a member. We spend $14.5billion p/a which greatly delays the transition to cleaner energy by lowering production costs and distorting the energy market.
