Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA)

Subject: Environment

Section: Int conventions

It is a coalition of national and subnational governments, businesses and organisations working to advance the transition from unabated coal power generation to clean energy.
By launching the PPCA at COP23 in 2017, the UK and Canada brought the leaders together, turning their individual commitments into a diplomatic offensive to advance the transition from coal power across the world.
27 national, provincial, state, and city governments joined initially, endorsing the PPCA Declaration.
The Alliance was hailed as a ‘political watershed’ and a new ‘anti-fossil fuel norm’.
Through the PPCA Finance Taskforce launched in June 2020, underpinned by the PPCA Finance Principles, finance and government members and partners of the PPCA are working together to cease new investments in coal-fired power, phase out existing coal capacity and boost investments in clean energy.
