I wish @~KAGE-008 was here; he's from Costa Rica so he could give his perspective on this....

(The Guardian) Costa Rica backs away from coalition it co-founded to end oil and gas
Costa Rica has long been an environmental superstar on the international stage. It is the only tropical country in the world that has successfully halted and reversed deforestation, and nearly all of its electricity comes from renewable power.

A year ago at Cop26, it co-launched an alliance with Denmark to set an end date for oil and gas exploration and extraction. But the election of a new president earlier this year has changed the Central American country’s position on the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA). It remains a member but a Costa Rican minister did not participate in the alliance’s event earlier today at Cop27, where Fiji and the US state of Washington were announced as new members.
