    Australia joins the group of these 24 countries, and they didn’t lobby against phasing out fossil fuels - unlike Russia, China, India, the U.S… Saudi Arabia, and some other oil producing countries.

    Australia’s reliance on coal-fired power drops to record low in early 2025, the country pledged to end coal consumption by 2038 or earlier (no, that may be not enough, too, but China, India, Russia & Co are not even close to this, and they do nothing that it gets better).

      Yeah, coal is decreasing as a share of our domestic usage, but we are still one of the world’s biggest coal exporters.
