First International Conference on the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels

Today, as COP30 negotiations near an end, and the most recent text released this morning makes no mention of fossil fuels, Colombia just officially announced further details of the First International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels, to be held at the coal port of Santa Marta on 28-29 April 2026.

It will be co-hosted with the Government of the Netherlands and builds toward Pacific countries committing to convene a subsequent summit to carry forward an effort to develop a 1.5°C-aligned roadmap for the transition away from fossil fuels.

This is the first time governments will convene a major international summit to specifically discuss the phase-out of fossil fuels. Hosting this summit in a major coal port, in the world’s fifth-largest coal-producing nation, sends a powerful message: fossil-fuel-dependent nations want to end their dependence on oil, gas, and coal extraction but doing so fairly requires unprecedented international cooperation so that no one is left behind.

This is what the Santa Marta conference aims to address. By bringing together governments, experts, Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant communities, civil society, climate advocates, industry leaders, and academia, it will create a strategic space to shape equitable pathways toward sustainable, diversified, and accessible energy. In doing so, it will advance international cooperation on transitioning away from fossil fuel extraction.

And momentum is truly on our side. At COP30, Cambodia became the 18th nation to join the call for a Fossil Fuel Treaty — adding to a rapidly expanding coalition of countries also backed by 140 cities and subnational governments, the WHO, the European Parliament, over 4000 civil society organisations, 3,000+ scientists and academics, 101 Nobel laureates, more than 900 Parliamentarians across the world and many businesses.

This win belongs to all of us. From the clarion call we have heard from our allies the Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon, the powerful people’s movements in the Global South, workers organizations, people of faith, gender justice and peace campaigners, public health officials, you have all created the political space for this historic moment. We remain inspired by Pacific Islanders’ long-standing example of fighting to leave no stone unturned in the struggle for climate justice.

This moment in history, marked by the First International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels, offers an unprecedented opportunity to redefine our relationship with energy and the environment. It is a call to action for individuals, communities, and nations to come together in pursuit of a common goal: a just and sustainable future for all.

In conclusion, the LoveShift principle invites us to view the transition away from fossil fuels as a catalyst for a broader transformation in human consciousness. By focusing on scalable actions that prioritize collective well-being and environmental stewardship, we can unleash the immense energy of collectivized consciousness to create a future that is not only sustainable but also equitable and thriving. This is the ultimate creative formula, where consciousness leads the way in shaping a new reality for humanity and the planet.

Adding Big C to the Plan

In the vast tapestry of human potential, the LoveShift principle emerges as a beacon, guiding us towards a future where consciousness is the architect of reality. At the heart of this transformative vision lies the revolutionary formula e=mc^C, where 'e'—the energy for action—is not merely the sum of individual efforts, but an exponential force unleashed by the synergy of mass ('m')—representing our collective intentions and plans—and consciousness ('c') raised to the power of 'C', the Collective Consciousness. This equation is not just a theoretical construct; it is a blueprint for manifesting a new reality through the limitless power of unified human consciousness.

As we stand on the precipice of the First International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels, we are presented with a pivotal opportunity to catalyze a global shift in consciousness. This conference, strategically located at a major coal port in Colombia, symbolizes a profound transformation—not merely a transition from fossil fuels, but an awakening to a sustainable, equitable, and conscious coexistence with our planet. The challenge before us is to harness this moment, aligning it with the LoveShift principle, and to create a resonant field of collective intention that exponentially amplifies our capacity for action.

1. Global Education and Awareness Campaigns: In the realm of e=mc^C, education becomes the catalyst for awakening. Imagine a worldwide educational initiative that transcends traditional boundaries, not just raising awareness but igniting a global awakening. This campaign, infused with the energy of collective consciousness, targets all age groups, creating a resonant field that vibrates with the possibilities of a fossil-free future. By integrating knowledge about the impacts of fossil fuels and the benefits of renewable energy into curricula, we equip future generations with the consciousness needed to drive change. This is not just education; it is the nurturing of a global mind, united in purpose and action.

2. Community Empowerment and Involvement: Community hubs become the epicenters of transformation, where the collective energy of individuals converges to create a powerful force for change. These hubs, guided by the principle of e=mc^C, empower marginalized communities, ensuring their voices resonate within the global symphony of transition. Workshops and training programs become conduits for the collective consciousness, transferring skills and fostering economic empowerment. Here, the energy of collectivized intention manifests as local job creation and sustainable development, unleashing a wave of transformative power that ripples through communities and beyond.

3. Indigenous and Afro-descendant Leadership: In the e=mc^C framework, the wisdom of Indigenous Peoples and Afro-descendant communities becomes a vital element of collective consciousness. Their traditional knowledge and sustainable practices are not just integrated into global strategies; they become the foundation upon which new possibilities emerge. Platforms for sharing experiences and solutions foster a global exchange of knowledge, creating a resonant field that honors cultural diversity and amplifies the collective 'C' value. This is not mere inclusion; it is the recognition of a profound wisdom that enriches the global consciousness and guides us towards a harmonious existence with nature.

4. Innovative Financial Mechanisms: Financial instruments, reimagined through the lens of e=mc^C, become vehicles for exponential change. Green bonds, carbon credits, and other innovative funding solutions are not just incentives; they are catalysts that unlock vast reservoirs of creative energy. By ensuring that financial support is accessible to small-scale and community-led projects, we promote a decentralized and inclusive energy landscape. This is the democratization of finance, where collective consciousness drives investment in a sustainable future.

5. International Cooperation and Policy Alignment: The development of a unified policy framework, aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the 1.5°C target, becomes a manifestation of collective will. Encouraging nations to sign and commit to a Fossil Fuel Treaty creates a binding agreement that resonates with the power of e=mc^C. This is not just policy alignment; it is the harmonization of global intentions, creating a resonant field that holds countries accountable and propels us towards a fossil-free future.

6. Technological Innovation and Research: In the realm of e=mc^C, technological innovation becomes the frontier of collective creativity. Investments in research and development are not just advancements; they are the embodiment of collective consciousness striving towards a common goal. Open-source platforms for sharing technological innovations become conduits for collective energy, allowing countries and communities to adopt and adapt solutions. This is the democratization of technology, where the exponential power of collective consciousness accelerates the transition to renewable energy.

7. Cultural and Artistic Expression: Art, music, and storytelling become the language of collective consciousness, conveying the urgency and importance of the energy transition. Cultural and artistic expression, infused with the energy of e=mc^C, connects with people on an emotional level, inspiring action and creating a resonant field of shared intention. Supporting artists and creators who focus on environmental themes amplifies their reach, influencing public opinion and catalyzing change. This is not just artistic expression; it is the manifestation of collective consciousness in its most vibrant form.

8. Corporate Responsibility and Innovation: Businesses, guided by the principle of e=mc^C, become allies in the transition to a sustainable future. Encouraging corporations to adopt sustainable practices and invest in renewable energy sources is not just corporate responsibility; it is the alignment of economic forces with collective consciousness. Partnerships with non-profit organizations and community groups drive innovation and implement sustainable solutions, creating a resonant field of collective action that transcends individual interests.

9. Holistic Health and Well-being: The transition to renewable energy becomes intertwined with themes of health and well-being, creating a holistic approach to sustainability. By emphasizing the benefits of clean energy for public health, we create a resonant field that connects individual well-being with collective action. Lifestyle changes that align with sustainable living become expressions of collective consciousness, reducing energy consumption and supporting local and organic agriculture. This is the integration of personal and planetary health, where collective consciousness nurtures a thriving future.

10. Monitoring and Accountability: Transparent systems for monitoring progress become the guardians of collective intention. By tracking emissions reductions, renewable energy adoption, and social equity outcomes, we create a resonant field of accountability that ensures promises translate into tangible action. Mechanisms for holding governments, corporations, and individuals accountable become expressions of collective consciousness, driving us towards a future that is not only possible but inevitable.

As we implement these actions, we tap into the profound power of e=mc^C, unleashing an immense energy that propels humanity towards a future defined by sustainability, equity, and collective well-being. This transition is not merely a technological change; it is a profound transformation in how we perceive and interact with the world. The LoveShift principle, with its emphasis on elevating collective consciousness, invites us to envision a future where energy is not just a resource but a manifestation of our collective will.

The First International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels is more than a moment in history; it is a call to action for individuals, communities, and nations to unite in pursuit of a common goal. This is the ultimate expression of the e=mc^C principle, where consciousness leads the way in shaping a new reality for humanity and the planet. By focusing on scalable actions that prioritize collective well-being and environmental stewardship, we unleash the immense energy of collectivized consciousness, creating a future that is not only sustainable but also equitable and thriving.

In conclusion, the LoveShift principle challenges us to view the transition away from fossil fuels as a catalyst for a broader transformation in human consciousness. By harnessing the power of e=mc^C, we can manifest a new reality where collective consciousness guides us towards a future of harmony, sustainability, and shared prosperity. This is the ultimate creative formula, where consciousness is the driving force behind a new era of human potential.
