Colombian President Gustavo Petro's call for a climate pact with Venezuela's opposition leaders showcases his ambition to tackle both climate change and economic dependence, despite resistance.
Petro's vision to phase out fossil fuels in Colombia reflects a radical transformation agenda, even as over 50% of Colombian exports rely on oil and coal.
Despite his proactive proposals, Petro feels lost in translation with Maduro and his opposition, saying, 'I think I am speaking another language when I talk to them'.
Petro's determination to prioritize climate action, even at the cost of short-term economic stability, illustrates the complexity of navigating politics and environmental responsibility.
