Colombia is urging GLENCORE PLC to begin early closure talks for the Cerrejon coal mine, where production fell 12.5% in 2025. The current concession for the open-pit mine, which includes a 150-kilometer railway, does not expire until 2034. Accelerating the exit signals increased regulatory pressure on fossil fuel assets under President Gustavo Petro's energy transition.
