CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm that a conference is taking place in Santa Marta, Colombia, concerning the transition away from fossil fuels. While the claim specifies 'around 60 nations' and 'primarily caused by coal,' the evidence confirms the location, the focus on fossil fuel transition, and the involvement of multiple countries.
