Save the climate, end coal!

Climate change currently poses the biggest threat to humankind. If we don’t adopt radical measures quickly, the state of the planet and the life on it will dramatically worsen – in our lifetime. To keep the Earth’s future safe, we need to decrease CO2 emissions fast and keep coal and other fossil fuels in the ground.

Czech Republic still operates a fleet of old dirty coal-fired power stations, and still doesn't have any plane to phase the out. The state-ownded “ČEZ” company is going to sell the Počerady coal power station, one of the biggest ones in the country, to coal tycoons Tykač and Dienstl who wish to go ahead with its operation for decades. It is the very same coal tycoons who request exceptions from EU pollution limits so that they could extend the lifespan of the Chvaletice power station. However, no exceptions can be tolerated. Coal power stations need to be closed if we want to avoid disastrous impacts of the climate change.

Thats why we are building a movement with the aim to push for an immediate phase out of coal. Climate camps are helping to connect people, who want to join it: they provide a space for informal education, networking, sharing of experience and last but not leats - for organizing nonviolent actions and creative protests, that are adressing the roots of the climate crisis and demanding an end to coal. This years Climate Camp - the third - will take place as part of a campaing to shutting down one of these dirtiest power plants in Czech republic: Chvaletice in the Pardubice region.

Support it's organisation and join us between 27th of june and 9th of july at the Climate Camp. Until the last mine and the last coal power station are closed, we set the limits – we are the limits!
