"The IEA Special Report on Coal in Net Zero Transitions: Strategies for rapid,
secure and people-centred change
 reaffirms that “Reducing coal power sector
emissions in line with the 1.5-degree goal means no new development of unabated
coal-fired power plants”. In September 2021, E3G analysis found that the scale
of the global project pipeline of proposed coal power plants had collapsed by
76% since the Paris Agreement in 2015. This briefing paper reviews the latest
key trends and datapoints, which confirm that the majority of the world is fast
converging on the IEA’s first key milestone of no new coal power plants moving
into construction."
