Championing climate solutions and a rapid transition to clean energy

Beyond Coal Goes Beyond Our Expectations

This January, we launched the Beyond Coal campaign in Atlantic Canada, with the goal of shutting down coal-fired electric power plants in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and rapidly transitioning the region from fossil fuel to clean renewable energy options that are viable, cheaper, and part of a meaningful response to the climate emergency. The project has already made huge waves in the region, including the groundbreaking Beyond Climate Promises report1, which issues a clarion call for unequivocal and rapid action to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

With a new government elected in Nova Scotia, we will need to make sure we get off coal as quickly as possible, and that climate action does not get kicked down the road as it has in the past. We also need to ensure that coal is not replaced with dirty energy sources such as natural gas, forest biomass, and nuclear. I hope you will continue to join with us as we fight for a safe climate.
