Really good piece by @australiainstitute.org.au on how coal mines stopped by grassroots activism in Australia helped bring down coal demand in South Korea, ultimately encouraging them to join the @pastcoal.bsky.social at #COP30 An example of how diplomacy follows activism ✊ bit.ly/4ozSiuN

An interesting snippet of information... Electricity generation from coal in India has dropped in the first 10 months of 2025, with renewables covering for all the growth in electricity use. Noting, growth in electricity use is rather low... More figures: robbieandrew.github.io/india/

COP30 FOSSIL FUEL ROADMAP: We've now seen the full list of 82 countries supporting some sort of roadmap on transitioning away from fossil fuels docs.google.com/spre... 1/2

😍 #Lula just opened #COP30 with a strong call: the world needs "to get rid of fossil fuels" & "accelerate the energy tranisition" He said Belem will honour the COP28 + 29 agreements to transition away from #fossilfuels and scale up finance, and we need a roadmap for doing so in a fair way

No New Coal now a global norm 🎉 164 countries have no prospective coal capacity + in 2025 stalled and cancelled coal proposals led to a record low in the number of countries proposing or building new coal plants 👇 bit.ly/4oiT9ke

⚡⚡⚡Renewables help drive down energy prices⚡⚡⚡ 🔺Since 2019, Spain has achieved a 75% 📉 in the no. hours where gas influenced the electricity price - much faster than e.g. the UK 🔺In 2019, Spain's elec. price was amongst the highest in Europe 🔺... and in H1 2025 was 32% lower than the EU average 🎉

Up to 78% of international public fossil fuel finance was slashed by Clean Energy Transition Partnership signatories in 2024 vs pre-CETP levels - but less than 20% of funds from fossil fuels have been redirected to clean energy More 🔎 bit.ly/3VLLOx2 @nataliejones.bsky.social @indiraura.bsky.social

💡 From just transitions for coal communities in Alberta, Chile and South Africa to the early retirement of coal plants in North Macedonia and the Philippines, the @pastcoal.bsky.social's new Solutions Bank is a repository of positive case studies away from coal. Check it out ⤵️

HUGE news — govt of Colombia to host a first-of-its-kind, landmark intergovernmental summit that will provide a global platform for countries to cooperate on strategies to phase out oil, gas, and coal extraction 🎉

At @e3g.bsky.social we've created a tool to track the COP28 energy commitments in #NDCs What do countries say about: - Deploying renewables - Improving energy efficiency - Phasing down coal - Transitioning away from fossil fuels - Quitting FF subsidies Explore here 👉 www.e3g.org/publications...

🚗💨 Cars drive a massive demand for steel (~1/5 of all EU steel is used to make cars) - most of which is made with coal 💡By demanding green steel, carmakers can drive a transformation for cleaner air, healthier communities, & a climate-safe future leadthecharge.org/steel/?_orde... #GreenSteel #IAA25

Voices promoting coal are increasingly marginalised as real-world trends show that coal power is on its way out 📉 "Clean" coal is unproven, unscalable, and unaffordable: countries pursuing that risk falling behind in the energy transition My blog for @e3g.bsky.social: www.e3g.org/news/the-end...

Renewable energy is now the lowest-cost form of electricity generation ☀️🌬️🔋 In 2023: - 96% of new solar and wind capacity globally had lower generation costs than new coal - 75% of new renewables projects were cheaper than running existing coal plants

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: www.ft.com/content/1e6a...

No one in the wealthy part of the world is any longer interested in building new coal plants, the world is actually consigning coal to history

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. 🧵👇

99% of existing US coal plants are more expensive to keep running than if they’re replaced with local solar, wind, & battery storage, from @energyinnovation.org "Americans immediately begin saving money when coal plants retire and communities transition to clean energy" apnews.com/article/trum...

The closing of the UK’s 🇬🇧 Ratcliffe power plant and new era of #coal-free power was an iconic 2024 headline. We’re hoping to see some similar stories in 2025.
