<p>At COP26, all parties agreed to phase down the use of coal for the first time ever.
The Global Coal to Clean Power Transition Statement gained over 70 signatures from
countries, subnationals, and organisations, and the Powering Past Coal Alliance grew
to 165 members.</p><p>In 2022, the UK COP Presidency remains fully committed to consigning
coal power to history. The Energy Transition Council will run until at least 2025,
and is ensuring that countries can access investment in clean power that is more attractive
than new coal plants. We are working with international partners to secure more signatories
to the UN No New Coal Power Compact and the Powering Past Coal Alliance. The UK will
also support the implementation of ambitious announcements made at COP26, including
the South Africa Just Energy Transition Partnership, the Green Grids Initiative, and
the Just Transition Declaration. We must accelerate action to cut the global new coal
plant pipeline, and to retire existing coal generation capacity.</p><p> </p>
