A large group of countries including some major oil producers are meeting on Friday to plan something UN climate summits have failed to agree on - a complete move away from fossil fuels.
Around 60 nations are gathering in Santa Marta, Colombia as the world warms rapidly, mainly from the use of coal, oil and gas.
Countries attending account for roughly a fifth of global fossil fuel supply - including Colombia, Australia and Nigeria - but major powers including the US, China and India are not part of the talks.
Progress at the annual UN COP climate meetings has slowed as decisions depend on the consent of all, giving large fossil producers an effective veto.
At COP30, held in Brazil last November, efforts to agree a roadmap away from fossil fuels failed as major oil producing nations wouldn't agree to the plan.
