Momentum Builds at COP30 for Road Map From Fossil Fuels

Dozens of countries are pushing for the COP30 summit to deliver a road map away from fossil fuel use as its key outcome, setting the stage for a frantic few last days of talks.

In a packed conference room Tuesday at the United Nations meeting, representatives from the Marshall Islands, Colombia, the UK, Germany, Kenya and Sierra Leone led a group of about 20 countries in calling for a path to shift away from oil, gas and coal. Organizers of the push claimed to have more than 80 nations supporting the effort.
