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.
