Beyond Oil and Gas: Denmark and Costa Rica Lead New Push to Phase Out Fossil Fuels
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a major development, the governments of Denmark and Costa Rica have
launched the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance - the first high-level
diplomatic initiative to phase out fossil fuels. This is Costa Rican
environment minister Andrea Meza.

Andrea Meza: "It is also about acknowledging that every dollar that we
invest in fossil fuel projects, it is one less dollar for renewables or
for the conservation of nature."
