The Powering Past Coal Alliance is a group of over 80 countries, cities, regions and organisations aiming to accelerate the phase out of traditional or unabated coal power.
History Bearbeiten
The Alliance was launched by Canada and the UK at the COP23 climate summit in November 2017. Announcing the launch, Climate Action Network-Canada Executive Director Catherine Abreu said:
Membership has grown rapidly. By the end of the summit membership was over 20 countries, regions and organisations.[2] Within a month membership had grown to over 50 countries, regions and organisations.[3]
In October 2018 the South Korean province of South Chungcheong became the largest user of coal power to join the Alliance[4][5] and in December 2018 Sydney, Melbourne, Scotland, Scottish Power, Senegal and Israel also joined[6]
In December 2018 membership stood at 80: 30 countries, 22 regions and 28 organisations.[7]
Aims Bearbeiten
Alliance members agree that:[3]
- Governments/states will phase out existing traditional coal power.
- Governments/states will create a moratorium on any new traditional coal power stations without operational carbon capture and storage.
- Businesses/organisations will power operations without coal.
- Members will ensure policies and investments support clean power.
- Members will restrict financing for traditional coal power without carbon capture and storage.
Reaction Bearbeiten
Reacting to the launch, Tracy Carty of Oxfam said the Alliance:
Business change organisation The B Team welcomed the Alliance, and argued that exiting coal must happen as a "just transition" that protects vulnerable workers and communities such as coal mining communities.[8]
