The Glasgow Climate Pact is an agreement reached at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26).[2] The pact is the first climate agreement explicitly planning to reduce unabated coal usage.[2] A pledge to "phase out" coal was changed to "phase down" late in negotiation, for coal in India and coal in China and other coal reliant countries.[3][4]
