Coal Action Network

Coal Action Network works for an end to coal use in power generation and steel production; coal extraction and coal imports in the UK, and for justice for communities affected by the UK's current and historical involvement with coal.

We do so by working in solidarity with communities on the front-lines of coal-extraction in the UK and in countries where coal is mined for consumptionhere, or where it is supported by the UK's financial institutions. We offer support in terms of campaign strategy, communications, building networks, fundraising, research, organising events, mobilising grassroots campaigns and supporting legal challenges to coal companies.

More broadly, we seek to amplify and strengthen the networks and capacity of front-line communities against extractivism and environmental racism, towards direct democracy and for just transition.
