Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels Roadmap

The COP28 decision adopted in Dubai called on all Parties to contribute to “transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science” (paragraph 28.d of the first Global Stocktake).

On November 3, 2026, COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago and CEO Ana Toni presented the Roadmap at the UNDP Brazil office, a key partner of the COP30 Presidency. The Roadmap concludes that transitioning away from fossil fuels is urgent, inevitable and yet possible, and that every country can begin taking action, regardless of its starting point.

An open call on the UN Climate Convention platform drew 267 contributions; 21 of them came from Parties or groups of Parties, representing 115 Parties in all.

At the center of the Roadmap is the Belém Readiness Approach, which examines countries’ exposure to fossil fuels and their capacity to manage the transition across three complementary pillars: energy demand, energy supply and the broader economy. The Roadmap also proposes a TAFF Mutirão, a collective agenda to accelerate coordinated action in this critical decade, through 2033.

Developed through broad international consultations, the Roadmap is a voluntary, non-prescriptive contribution from the COP30 Presidency. This document is not subject to negotiation.
