About the Event

The inaugural Conference for the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels has reignited hopes for new legal and policy developments to transition countries away from fossil fuels. Spearheaded as an initiative of Colombia and The Netherlands at the Conference of Parties in 2025, the conference was an ‘innovative, horizontal dialogue that deepens democratic climate governance through meaningful and influential participation by countries and subnational governments, civil society, and other stakeholders’. The high-level outcomes of the Conference include a new coordination group of states leading key transition efforts, and the creation of the Science Panel for the Global Energy Transition to support countries moving away from fossil fuels. Join us in discussing how these developments will impact the climate change regime in international law, renewable energy infrastructure, project financing, as well as negotiating dynamics in the upcoming meeting of the subsidiary bodies.
