Colombia is pursuing ambitious climate policy goals. The government under President Gustavo Petro aims to phase out fossil fuels and completely convert to a green economy – even though the emerging country has historically been heavily dependent on state revenues from oil and coal exports. Colombia is also campaigning for a global fossil fuel exit at UN climate summits. In a recent interview with Table.Briefings, Environment Minister Susana Muhamad said that her country will probably take around 15 years to abandon oil and coal completely. Without help from developed countries, it will hardly be possible.
