Coal can be replaced by clean energy, all while maintaining energy security. But to do this, there are key steps to get right. The PPCA met with governments and financial organisations last month to move this work forward. Here’s what we learnt: poweringpastcoal.org/news/a-secure-…

Today, Honduras joins the PPCA, committing to not build any new coal power plants. This means Latin America now has no active coal power proposals. Through the Call to Action for No New Coal, we call on countries to commit to No New Coal ahead of COP30. poweringpastcoal.org/news/momentum-…

Latin America shelves its last plans for new coal 🎉 In 2015, 18 coal plants were proposed across the region. Last year, just two remained, in Brazil and Honduras. Today, there are no active coal plant projects on the continent. 🧵👇

Latin America now has zero active coal power proposals. This is because renewables, not coal, are seen as giving a 'long-term competitive advantage'. To unlock green growth, countries should commit to no new coal - like new PPCA member Honduras👇 poweringpastcoal.org/news/momentum-…

The end of the coal era in Ireland, as the country ends coal use at its last coal power plant! Coal phase-out has been accompanied by a growth in wind power, which currently amounts to 33% of Ireland’s electricity, second in Europe only to Denmark. irishtimes.com/environment/20…

We are delighted with the FT’s focus on solving the world’s coal problem, but last week’s article is doing a disservice to the progress made so far. Read our letter to the editor, and follow our LCAW events this week, to find out more: ft.com/content/1e6a00…

The global shift away from coal is accelerating! At #LCAW2025, I joined Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) and Chile en UK for a Coal to Clean Transition event. I highlighted PPCA and Sustainable Energy for All | #SDG7BeBold's work in championing the No New Coal Energy Compact, catalyzing an end to the age of coal.
