The COP30 climate conference in Belém, Brazil highlighted efforts to implement the Paris Agreement by transitioning from coal to clean energy in developing countries. The Kinetic Coalition, led by C2ES, is driving investment in clean energy systems in emerging economies through energy transition credits, with a focus on affordable, reliable, and secure electricity to meet Paris Agreement goals. The Final Report of the Transition Credits Coalition (TRACTION), led by MAS, aims to establish integrity and demand for energy transition credits, emphasizing a just transition for coal plant workers and communities. The partnership with The Rockefeller Foundation and the signing of a Statement of Support for Energy Transition Credits by various sectors demonstrate a commitment to advancing energy prosperity and accelerating the clean energy transition.
