🏞️ Despite renewables momentum, 94.5 GW of new coal power began construction in 2024. Halting new approvals and optimising use of existing assets are essential. A robust #justtransition framework will be key to supporting workers and revitalising coal-dependent regions. 4/x

"In Alberta's last election both major political party leaders attacked a #JustTransition. More walkable, less car dependant #15MinuteCities were propagandized by the #AntiVax geniuses into concentration camps. The conspiratorial and fact-free are on the rise and somehow have been for some time."

Dear _ ,

What can I do to enable your future to happen? Given the opportunity, I would vote for bold climate & transit policy; I would support Indigenous-led planning at the respective levels of government; I would make & support public investments in rail & renewables; I can eat locally-grown food. What carries food northward? Dream, speak, organize, repeat. What motivates a high-speed rail stop in Lethbridge? #JustTransition #PublicTransit #FoodSovereignty #PrairieFuture #ClimateAction 🚄🌱⚡🫶🏽

Someone whose posts aren’t quite public served as a reminder to me to point out there’s an EU fund specifically dedicated to helping people in coal and similar regions with the energy transition.

Of course it is also up to member states (who control much bigger budgets) and it isn’t just about extreme cases like coal mining, but skills in every industry

Interesting article on Shanxi, China’s coal belt province!

Their whole economy depends on coal, and people don’t know much about climate change.

Nevertheless:

“People are quite happy to move on, if they are provided with good training and strong support to help that transition go smoothly”

After all, coal mining in a coal economy isn’t that great, in reality…

Carbon Brief · Interview: What the people of China’s coal-rich Shanxi think about climate change - Carbon BriefShanxi province in northern China is the country’s largest coal producer, leaving its coal-reliant economy and workers particularly exposed to the nation’s pledge to transition away from fossil fuels.

Indigenous communities in Latin America are revolutionizing clean energy, replacing diesel generators with solar power in remote villages. This grassroots movement creates jobs, reduces pollution, and empowers local people to control their energy future. It’s a beautiful example of traditional knowledge and modern technology working together.

Two-thirds of global heating caused by richest 10%, study suggests…that means us (or at least me)

“if the whole world population had emitted as the top 10%, 1% or 0.1% had, the temperature increase would have been 2.9C, 6.7C or a completely unsurvivable 12.2C”
