Question

To ask the President of COP26, what progress he made at COP26 on reducing the use of coal.

At COP26, all parties agreed to phase down the use of coal, the first ever direct reference to coal in UN climate decision text.

The Global Coal to Clean Power Transition Statement gained 77 signatures from countries, subnationals, and organisations, and the Powering Past Coal Alliance grew to 165 members.

And there were significant financial commitments, with international partners agreeing to mobilise over $20 billion to support developing countries in the transition from coal to clean energy.
