Global leaders convene to address fossil fuel phaseout amid geopolitical and energy tensions
Original framing: “Nations to kick off world-first fossil fuel exit talks” — Phys.org
Scientific consensus is clear: a rapid phaseout of fossil fuels is necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. However, the technical feasibility of renewable energy systems must be paired with policy reforms to ensure a just transition.
The phaseout of fossil fuels is not merely a technical challenge but a deeply systemic transformation that must address historical injustices, power imbalances, and cultural diversity.
Indigenous knowledge and community-led models offer pathways to sustainability that challenge the extractive logic of the current energy system. By integrating scientific evidence, cross-cultural wisdom, and marginalized voices, the international community can design a just transition that aligns with climate goals while promoting equity and resilience. The role of the trickster in this narrative is to expose the contradictions and hypocrisies in global climate politics, pushing for a more honest and transformative process.
