Initiative for climate protection

Current projections indicate that by 2030, humanity will exceed the global greenhouse gas emissions limit for the 1.5-degree climate target by 22 gigatons. However, we can close this gap — profitably — by transitioning 90% of the world’s coal-fired power plants to renewable energy. Switchcoal.org, with its highly innovative SwitchTool, supports this transition by providing comprehensive, science-based information on all 2,515 coal plants worldwide — distilled from 377,250 data points — delivering a clear, accessible message for individuals, communities, and policymakers alike: Renewables are the profitable path to a cleaner future.
