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 | Quelltext 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 | Quelltext 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 | Quelltext 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]
