Coal
The collapse of the coal industry is already happening, despite what you may hear about China and India’s continued plans to back the climate-wrecking fossil fuel. A report by E3G, Global Energy Monitor and Ember has found that more than three-quarters of the world’s planned plants have been scrapped since the Paris Climate Agreement was signed in 2015. In fact, there are 44 countries that no longer have any future coal power plans. If China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Turkey and Bangladesh can be persuaded to commit to no new coal, the pipeline for future coal plants will drop 90%.
