Denmark and Costa Rica seek to bring together allied countries that make up a group of interested parties in contributing to the Paris Agreement, to avoid the warming that derives from the emission of carbon gases resulting from oil and gas activity.
Given global warming, Denmark and Costa Rica have founded a crusade between countries, in order to get the gradual elimination of oil and gas production and the non-granting of permits for new explorations, but until recent weeks, there has been no a consensual action of countries, to put an end to the burning of fossil fuels.
In the project of the group called Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA) it can be cited that “restricting the national production of oil and gas in accordance with what is required to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement will be the central focus of BOGA “since his main concern is that the parties involved in the global energy and mining sector are slow to comply with the Paris Agreement.
The BOGA preliminary project, which will be launched at the UN climate summit in November in Scotland, has been viewed by various world news agencies that have confirmed, document in hand, that in order to become an allied country, the territory subscribes to the project will have to cancel the granting of licenses for the production of oil and gas and slow down the current production.
In Europe, Denmark is one of the largest oil and gas producers that has banned new exploration in the North Sea in 2020 and has agreed to end its current production by 2050, while in Central America, Costa Rica is not an oil extractor but supports a ban on fossil fuel exploration.
