Letter from We Mean Business Coalition to the COP27 Presidency on fossil fuels phase down
Summary
The We Mean Business Coalition, representing over 9,000 companies, calls for COP27 cover decisions to explicitly support a just energy transition away from all fossil fuels, not just coal, to align with the 1.5°C warming limit.
Key insights
- The We Mean Business Coalition argues that limiting global warming to 1.5°C requires the phase-out of all fossil fuels, rather than focusing solely on coal.
- The Coalition seeks the inclusion of language regarding a clean and just energy transition away from fossil fuels within the COP27 cover decisions to encourage private sector action.
