The First International Conference on the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels, or Santa Marta Summit, took place from April 24–29, 2026, in Santa Marta, Colombia.
Co-hosted by Colombia and the Netherlands, the summit gathered representatives from over 50 nations to create a concrete roadmap for phasing out coal, oil, and gas, aiming for a "just transition".
Notable Absences: Despite the attendance of major producers like Australia, Canada, Nigeria, and Brazil, significant polluters including the United States and China were notably absent
The next conference will be held in the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu, aiming to establish a global panel to create a transition road map.

UPSC PYQ 2025
Like AI Action Summit 2025 where UPSC focused on non-signatories (US & UK), the absence of major polluters like US and China from the Santa Marta Summit also becomes prelims-relevant under the growing UPSC trend of asking “absentee/non-signatory countries” in global summits.
