We advocate for policy that secures the managed phase out of coal from UK industries, and end the UK's support for global coal extraction and use. Westminster has devolved some powers to Scotland and Wales, which means we work with the Welsh, Scottish, and UK parliaments to secure the policies we need to lock out coal. This is essential to protect our global climate, and discourage a swing back to coal in response to geopolitical events.

We worked tirelessly to increase the ambitions of major political parties ahead of the UK General Election, leading to five of the those parties declaring policy commitments to rule out any new coal mining across the UK. We're now campaigning for the new UK Government to enshrine this commitment  within planning and energy policy.

We've been engaging with the Welsh Government and Senedd on strengthening its coal policies. Once it was ahead of the UK and Scottish Governments, but now it is increasingly being left behind.

We inputted to the Scottish Government ahead of its planning consultation, contributing to its de facto coal mining ban.
