Updated: 10 new states and cities added to the list of alliance partners.

Coal-fired power plants produce almost 40% of global electricity, and coal-fired power generation emits twice as much CO2 as gas per unit of electricity, making carbon pollution from coal a leading contributor to climate change.

On 16 November 2017 an alliance committed to moving the world from burning coal to cleaner power sources was launched at COP23, the UN climate change talks.

This declaration sets out the commitments and lists the alliance partners.
