Thin on the right so far
Only 2 of the 25 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.
This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
A coalition of 57 countries focused on accelerating the global transition away from fossil fuels is continuing its work, even after the withdrawal of founding member Colombia. The coalition, which was launched in the Colombian coastal city of Santa Marta in April, is expected to release a progress report this week. This report will outline the steps taken by participating countries.
The coalition's efforts are proceeding amid ongoing United Nations climate talks, known as COP31, held in Antalya, Turkey. Ireland and the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu are set to co-host a second international conference related to the coalition's goals.

How each side covered it
Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.
Left
12 rated outlets
- All eleven left‑rated digests report that a coalition of 57 nations is moving forward with its fossil‑fuel transition agenda despite the departure of founding member Colombia. They note the group was launched in Santa Marta and that a progress report and new national plans are due at the United Nations climate talks in Antalya, Turkey.
- Several digests add that Ireland and Tuvalu will co‑host a second international conference linked to the coalition’s work. The Record and WellandTribune.ca include an Associated Press byline citing Mexico City as the source of the information. All digests repeat the same headline about the coalition pressing ahead without Colombia.
- The digests do not mention any estimate of the financial cost of the coalition’s plans, nor do they explain why Colombia withdrew. They also omit statements from Colombian officials, environmental groups or industry representatives, and provide no assessment of how the withdrawal might affect the coalition’s overall climate targets.
Centre
11 rated outlets
- All eleven centre‑rated digests state that a coalition of 57 countries is seeking to speed the global shift away from fossil fuels and is moving forward despite the withdrawal of founding member Colombia. Several digests add that the group will unveil new national plans at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey.
- A subset of the digests, Washington Top News, The Hill and Winnipeg Free Press, include the location of the talks and note the preparation of national plans, while eight other outlets simply note the coalition’s continuation. Six digests (Cecil Daily, Ottumwa Courier, Daily News‑Record, union‑bulletin.com, coasttv.com and WKMG) also mention that Ireland and Tuvalu will co‑host a second international conference.
- None of the centre‑rated digests provide a cost estimate for the coalition’s plans, nor do they quote any government officials or representatives of Colombia. The digests also omit any discussion of the reasons behind Colombia’s withdrawal or of potential impacts on the broader climate agenda.

Of the 25 rated outlets on this story, 48% are rated left, 44% are rated centre, 8% are rated right, and no side holds the 70% this site would want before calling a field one-sided.

- Is the coverage of Fossil fuel coalition continues without Colombia biased?
- Fossil fuel coalition continues without Colombia is one event reported by 25 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
