This two-day Conference convened leading scholars, policy innovators, analysts, and advocacy organisations to advance cutting-edge, interdisciplinary and policy-oriented research on the demand- and supply-side phase-out of fossil fuels. The outcomes have directly informed the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels convened by the governments of Colombia and the Netherlands.
Building on insights from previous International Conferences on Fossil Fuel Supply and Climate Policy, the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, the work of the World Commission on the Fossil Fuel Phaseout, and the Salzburg Dialogues on Prosperity Post Fossil Fuels, among others, the event showcased novel research on managed decline pathways, political feasibility, and legal and institutional innovations. A central aim is to strengthen the link between research and policymaking to help shape actionable, evidence-based phaseout strategies and to inform efforts to shape global and national phaseout roadmaps.
This website is maintained by the Leave it in the Ground Initiative (LINGO, a conference co-host), as an informational resource in line with its non-profit mission of bringing about the end of the fossil fuel age.
