Climate change makes fossil fuels unburnable, yet global coal
production has almost doubled over the last 20 years. This book
explores how the world can stop mining coal - the most prolific
source of greenhouse gas emissions. It documents efforts at halting
coal production, focusing specifically on how campaigners are
trying to stop coal mining in India, Germany, and Australia.
Through in-depth comparative ethnography, it shows how local people
are fighting to save their homes, livelihoods, and environments,
creating new constituencies and alliances for the transition from
fossil fuels. The book relates these struggles to conflicts between
global climate policy and the national coal-industrial complex.
With coal's meaning transformed from an important asset to a
threat, and the coal industry declining, it charts reasons for
continuing coal dependence, and how this can be overcome. It will
provide a source of inspiration for energy transition for
researchers in environment, sustainability, and politics, as well
as policymakers.
