PM Kishida (@kishida230@MofaJapan_en), end Japan’s support for Indramayu coal-fired power project in Indonesia.
Japan will continue to face international scrutiny until it stops supporting coal and fossil fuels.

Holy moly! Some #coal heavy hitters are committing to phase out, notably in Asia. Is it perfectly 1.5degrees aligned? No. Is it hugely encouraging? Yes! Lesson from Europe: commit to a phase out year and end up phasing out sooner. Let's nail this.

Fossil fuels are the new cigarettes, it’s time for sports to stop taking sponsorship money from fossil fuel companies to launder their reputations and protect their social licence, just like they did with tobacco says @commsdeclare in @smh https://t.co/y6eteGUuVF
It's unsurprising that another insurer has walked away from underwriting Adani's enormous Carmichael coal mine. The evidence is clear - new coal is a massive risk to our climate. https://t.co/rYMftswDU2
Today we reached a big milestone - 60% of US coal plants slated for retirement. Retiring coal plant #318 is in Hawaii where the state just passed coal phase out legislation. As climate-fueled fires and storms land on our doorsteps, moving @BeyondCoal has never been more urgent ⬇️
