Fast because it’s just: fostering acceptance to accelerate sustainability transitions in coal-dependent regions by Cristian Pons-Seres de Brauwer, Paola Andrea Yanguas Parra

“…Coal-dependent communities and regions are at the frontline of the global energy transition, with net-zero scenarios requiring unprecedented sharp decreases in coal use and production in the next few decades. Rapid decarbonization in these ‘coal-dependent’ regions can result in high disruptiveness and trigger socio-political resistance across both the acceleration of coal phase-outs (decline) and clean energy phase-ins (diffusion). …”
