When was the last time you felt you made a difference at the ballot box? Or by writing a letter to your elected representative? In 2003, two million people marched in London against the UK’s involvement in a war in Iraq, and still the government did not listen. Over seven million people participated in the global climate strike on 20 September 2019 – and yet governments are failing to take action to prevent climate catastrophe.  This isn’t a reason for us to give up hope, it’s a reason to...

The impact of climate change is not felt equally by all. In addition to the racist power structures already addressed, women and non-binary people are often more negatively affected than men by coal projects and climate change – and are often not the people making the decisions. They tend to be the ones looking after people when they are sick, and they are more affected by water and food shortages, dust from coal, and air pollution. Feeding people and providing for most of our needs is heavily...

Divestment – as opposed to investment – means selling stocks, bonds, or investment funds for financial, ethical, or political reasons. Divestment campaigns demand that institutions such as universities, states, or companies stop investing in those companies whose activities are considered harmful. For instance, several groups worldwide demanded divestment from companies that traded, or had operations, in South Africa to pressure the country’s government to end the apartheid system.  “We need...

In 2017, the citizens of Munich decided that the local coal power plant should be taken off the grid in 2022. From 2020 onwards, this power plant will be operating at reduced capacity, using less than half of the usual amount of coal each year, thanks to the direct democracy campaign, ‘Stop the use of hard coal’. The campaign, Klimawende von unten (‘Climate Politics from below’), is also supporting local initiatives to shut down coal power plants earlier than planned. With direct democracy,...

Businesses do not want to encourage people to fight their projects. They hide activists’ successes behind corporate nonsense and market-based reasoning on how they claim to achieve ‘net-positive’ environmental impacts and contribute to society’s wellbeing. They categorise us as a ‘business risk’ and spend lots of money on undermining, co-opting, oppressing, and creating division within the resistance. Companies do not want to admit that we have the power to stop their projects. In the face of...

Here are a few examples of victories against coal companies, a small window into a much bigger picture: Turkey vs Engie  One of the big wins against coal in Turkey is the case of 1,320 MW Ada Coal Plant located in the heavily industrialised İskenderun Bay, situated on the Eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey – thanks to the joint effort of local, national, and international groups. The investor was French utility Engie, one of the sponsors of the Conference of Parties (COP) 21 in Paris back...

If you are inspired by the huge numbers of people resisting hard coal across the world, there are many different ways to get involved!  Do you strive for a just world, solidarity, and an economic system that does not prioritise corporate profits over human and ecosystem health? Are you tired of feeling powerless and want to be part of the solution? Then join the international resistance against coal, capitalism, and colonialism! On our website, you will find a number of campaign groups and...
