A landmark international gathering is set to take place, as representatives from 60 countries prepare to meet and discuss a crucial step towards mitigating climate change: phasing out fossil fuels. The meeting, which will bring together nations from around the world, aims to accelerate the transition to cleaner energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. However, in a move that has raised eyebrows, the United States has been excluded from the talks, sparking concerns about the country's commitment to addressing climate change. The meeting's focus on fossil fuel phase-out comes as pressure mounts on governments to take bold action to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
