One of the major stumbling blocks to existing international efforts to phase out fossil fuels, like the COP climate summits, is that they have to get agreement from everyone present, even OPEC countries. This is effectively a veto, and has been slowing down progress.

Now, 60 countries are moving ahead, this time without the veto blockers. Also, they'll move beyond COP's remit, which was the reduction in fossil fuel use, to discussing how to 100% end fossil fuel use.

Surprised to see Nigeria on that list. Are they going to produce it, but not consume it?

Most of the federal budget I recall is from oil income.
