As Democracy Now! continues to broadcast from the U.N. climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, we speak with Colombia’s Environment Minister Susana Muhamad, who chairs Colombia’s delegation here at COP29. She calls the return of Donald Trump to the White House “a disaster for global climate” due to his promise to pull the United States out of the Paris Agreement again, discusses Colombia’s plan to phase out fossil fuels despite being a major exporter of coal, and says a recent biodiversity conference held in Colombia could point the way for how to finance a green energy transition. Muhamad, who is of Palestinian heritage, also discusses Colombia’s decision to suspend coal exports to Israel earlier this year. “We are calling other countries to not supply … fossil fuel energy that is used in genocide,” Muhamad tells Democracy Now!
