‘Reckless’ coal firms plan climate-busting expansion, study finds 

A coal fired power plant. Almost half the 1,000 companies assessed are still developing new coal assets, and just 27 companies have announced coal exit dates consistent with international climate targets.

Hundreds of coal companies around the world are developing new mines and power stations, according to a study. 

The researchers said the plans are “reckless and irresponsible” in the midst of the climate emergency.
