On 24-29 April the world will convene in Santa Marta, Colombia, to work towards a plan to phase-out fossil fuels.

As Santa Marta gets under way, a growing number of international voices are calling for countries around the globe to address systemic barriers to phasing out fossil fuels, including legal investment treaties that penalise climate action.

ISDS prevents countries from passing policies to address climate change and phase out fossil fuels, for fear of being sued by multinationals, including UK multinationals, in international investment tribunals for billions of dollars.
