- “While more renewable energy capacity was installed last year than ever before, the coal industry remains en route to collapse our climate. Nine years after the Paris Agreement was signed, thermal coal production is at an unprecedented high and the world’s coal plant fleet is still growing,” says Heffa Schuecking, director of Urgewald.
- In 2015, the world’s installed coal capacity was 1,910 GW. Today, it equals 2,126 GW.
- 40% of companies listed on the 2024 GCEL are “coal developers” and plan to either develop new thermal coal mines, coal transport infrastructure or coal power plants. “Investing in these companies is like setting new fires in a house that is already burning. Financial institutions that are serious about the Paris goals must immediately ban investments in coal developers,” warns Schuecking.
