PPCA Global Summit 2021

On 2-4 March 2021, the UK and Canadian Governments, co-chairs of the PPCA co-hosted a virtual PPCA Global Summit to boost international commitment and cooperation to shift away from coal power generation ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in November 2021.

Online /

The Powering Past Coal Global Summit 2021 was this year’s largest global gathering on coal power phase-out, bringing together leaders from national governments, regions and cities, banks and investors, energy majors and grid operators, academia and NGO, youth and health groups to share their experiences and best practices on coal phase-out.

The Summit provided an opportunity for those countries where coal phase-out represents a challenge to join expert discussion on ways in which they could consider a trajectory away from coal. 

At the PPCA summit, we all come together to help make 2021 a leap towards a fairer, safer, healthier world.
