From TAFF (Santa Marta, 2026) to Just Transition (COP 31) and beyond

16 June @ 17:00 - 20:00
From TAFF (Santa Marta, 2026) to Just Transition (COP 31) and beyond

Come together to reflect on the outcomes and next steps of the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels

What can you expect?
The international conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels Conference (TAFF) hosted by the Governments of the Netherlands and Colombia in April 2026, marked a significant moment in global climate diplomacy. Taking place amid intensifying debates ahead of COP31, the conference brought renewed attention to pathways for a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels.

Against this backdrop, we are convening on 16 June at The Hague Humanity Hub, bringing together policymakers, researchers, civil society organisations, and advocates to reflect on the outcomes of Santa Marta and explore the road ahead.

Together, we will:

  • Share knowledge, reflect on and analyse the significance of the Santa Marta event to international efforts on a progressive transition away from fossil fuels
  • Identify opportunities for engagement with existing and emerging policy processes on fossil fuels and Just Transition
  • Contribute to ongoing preparations for the next COP31 (Turkey, November 2026), and the next international TAFF conference in 2027
  • This event aims to foster dialogue across sectors and disciplines, strengthen collaboration, and help shape a more equitable and participatory global transition.

Who is it for?
This event is open to people working across policy, advocacy, research and practicewho want to engage in an open exchange on the challenges and opportunities of transitioning away from fossil fuels.

We welcome participants from civil society organisations, climate justice and environmental movements, research and knowledge institutions, organisations working on climate and energy policy, policymakers, government representatives and delegates, diplomats and embassy representatives, as well as philanthropic and international organisations engaged in climate action and sustainable development.
