What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A report released ahead of the Pre-COP31 ministerial meeting in Fiji linked the bilateral coal trade between Australia and Türkiye to over 75 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions since the Paris Agreement. The analysis, based on UN Comtrade data, found that both countries have maintained their coal trade while increasing links to liquefied natural gas (LNG). Neither country currently has a scheduled date to end coal use.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The report suggests that the fossil fuel interests of both nations could undermine global efforts to transition away from coal, oil, and gas. Australia is noted as the world's second-largest coal exporter and has increased its oil and gas output by 77% since 2015. Türkiye is identified as Europe's largest coal-power generator, with its energy plan anticipating a 30 percent increase in coal and gas use.
