scale.Alex Rafalovich, director at the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, explains the significance of the conference and how it may ultimately influence non-participants.

I felt like the conference was a success even before it started because it had catalyzed so many conversations about how do we transition away from fossil fuels.

We saw regional and national meetings.

We saw, I think, over 2,000 kind of submissions of proposals and ideas.

There were all these structures to engage different stakeholders, academics, Indigenous peoples, the private sector, trade unions.

You know, so it really did break the dam in terms of having a real conversation about what the transition required.

And in terms of outcomes, there was three parts of the conversation.
