Colombian President Gustavo Petro has committed to reducing the country's reliance on oil and coal since his election in 2022. His administration has focused on transitioning to more sustainable energy sources.
With the presidential election approaching on May 31, 2026, Petro's ambitious energy plans face scrutiny as he seeks to solidify his legacy in climate policy.
The ongoing climate talks in Colombia reflect the government's efforts to position the nation as a leader in the global shift away from fossil fuels.
