In the face of dangerous climate change caused by human activity, the Coal Action Edinburgh collective exists to challenge the advancement of coal as an energy source.
We aim to inform people about the dangers posed by new coal, promote alternatives, work with those involved, and directly challenge new coal exploitation from source to point of use.
Coal Action Edinburgh is part of the Coal Action Network:
The Coal Action Network supports autonomous groups and individuals with information and experience to take collective action against the exploitation of coal. The network aims to organise non-hierarchically and believes that direct action is an appropriate and justified response to the urgency of the climate crisis and the human and environmental costs of coal, problems which governments and industry are unable to solve. The network therefore works with affected communities for a just transition towards a sustainable and coal-free future.
