Climate change, rising global temperatures, and our planet's health compel us to act now. Currently, we're already facing a 1.6 °C increase, an alarmingly high indicator of the urgency of mitigating climate change. Despite this, it seems as though no country does enough. The time for waiting is over—it's time to push for a radical reduction in emissions.

The target? To cut emissions by 50% in the next decade. A significant part of achieving this goal can be realized by targeting one of the largest contributors to global CO2 emissions: coal. It's high time we move towards more sustainable sources of energy. By 2034, we demand the absolute ban of all coal.

Here's why: The burning of coal accounts for 44% of global CO2 emissions. Eliminating coal could make a big dent in global warming (source: World Coal Association). Furthermore, a coal ban will not only drastically cut CO2 emissions but also significantly reduce air pollution, a known cause of several respiratory diseases (source: World Health Organization).

Let us not allow our planet's future to be dictated by the slow pace of bureaucracy and political convenience. We must collectively raise our voices and demand a sustainable, coal-free future. You can make a difference. Sign this petition to demand legislation that bans all usage of coal by 2034. Change begins with you.
