Documentation de recommandations – Politiques de sortie du charbon

The document argues that to limit global warming to 1.5°C, all coal assets must be closed by 2030 in OECD and European countries and by 2040 globally. It outlines a comprehensive framework for financial institutions to phase out coal support, combining immediate exclusion criteria for new projects and high-exposure companies with a structured engagement process for remaining portfolio companies to ensure the actual closure, rather than the sale, of coal assets.

• To align with the 1.5°C target, coal assets must be completely phased out by 2030 in European and OECD countries and by 2040 in the rest of the world.
• Financial institutions are urged to immediately cease all direct and indirect financial support for new coal mines, power plants, and related infrastructure globally, including advisory services and acquisition financing for existing assets.
• The document recommends excluding companies from financial services if they have coal expansion plans, prolong the life of existing plants through modernization, or derive more than 20% of their revenue or electricity production from coal.
• Absolute exclusion thresholds are recommended to capture large-scale producers that might fall below relative percentage thresholds; specifically, companies producing over 10 million tonnes of coal per year or holding over 5 GW of coal capacity should be excluded.
• For companies remaining in portfolios, financial institutions should require a detailed closure plan by January 1, 2022, emphasizing the actual closure of assets rather than their sale, with definitive exclusion if no plan is adopted by January 1, 2023.
• To ensure policy effectiveness, the document advises that coal exit policies cover all business lines, including passive investments, and avoid broad exceptions unless they specifically support renewable energy infrastructure.
