"Well, oil was the basis of wealth for many countries, but actually now is creating extinction. So we need to recognize that we need to bring balance to the planet otherwise nobody will be well-off. So right now at least in the spirit of Colombia, it’s a trap. Oil is not a gift from God, it’s a trap. We need to untangle ourselves from that, and we need a different future, one that makes peace with nature."

"In the last 20, 30 years we shifted our economy and we became dependent on exports of coal. We are the fifth largest coal exporter and also on oil. And that situation. But at the same time, we don’t have a huge reserve. So we are not like other countries which could have 200 years of oil under their soil. So as the world decarbonizes, our markets will be closing and we need a replacement."

"There’s a lot of unfair conditions and if we keep the same financial rules and the same economic structure, but we think we’re going to make a climate transition, which is an economic transition, I think we will not succeed. And that’s why Colombia has been so vocal that we need to change the architecture of the financial system and that we need to create conditions that come from policy, global policy, rather than continue giving targets of COP and bringing ambition of COP, but without the assurance of how to make the transition."

"I want to end up with assurance that we will have access to finance directly to our fiscal space and that we are able to count on the international community for the losses and damages that we are having. And that finance is not a game on how we advance green capitalism and reward bankable projects, but actually the finance is about creating human security by tackling the climate crisis."

STORYLINE:
Colombia’s Environment Minister Susana Muhamad told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Colombia and the world “needs to untangle itself” from oil and fossil fuels.
Speaking at the United Nations climate conference, COP29, Muhamad warned that Colombia’s oil reserves, which are the country’s main export, will soon be empty and it needs to move quickly to alternative energy.
Oil “is not a gift from god,” Muhamad said, referring to comments made earlier in the conference by Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan, another major oil exporter. “It’s a trap.”
“We are the fifth largest coal exporter and also on oil. But at the same time, we don’t have a huge reserves. So we are not like other countries which could have 200 years of oil under this soil,” she said.
Colombia is also a supporter of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
