Coal Action Network
Великобритания
Добавлен 4 дек 2020
Coal Action Network works for an end to coal use in power generation and steel production; coal extraction and coal imports in the UK, and for justice for communities affected by the UK's current and historical involvement with coal.
We do so by working in solidarity with communities on the front-lines of coal-extraction in the UK and in countries where coal is mined for consumptionhere, or where it is supported by the UK's financial institutions. We offer support in terms of campaign strategy, communications, building networks, fundraising, research, organising events, mobilising grassroots campaigns and supporting legal challenges to coal companies.
More broadly, we seek to amplify and strengthen the networks and capacity of front-line communities against extractivism and environmental racism, towards direct democracy and for just transition.

What's your thoughts on the millions of tonnes thats being imported into the uk every year?
The UK has blended domestic coal with imports to create the right properties for decades - but with the decarbonisation of UK steelworks, fortunately neither will be needed in great quantities moving forward!
Energy Recovery Investments Ltd have created a new name for the coal it proposes to mine: "Reduced Carbon Coal." 1984 'NEWSPEAK'.
Get a job you bunch of scrubbers
And your Welsh are you ?
Climate change knows no borders. And everyone who turned out to support the court case that morning live and work in South Wales, some with family who worked in the mining industry. They're proud of that heritage, but recognise this needs to end if we're to survive, let alone prosper, collectively.
