    To End Coal, Adapt to Regional Realities

    To identify the most useful policies, the authors of this article created detailed case studies from 2018 to 2020 on 15 key countries, which together comprise 84% of the world’s current coal power-plant capacity, and 83% of the global coal pipeline for new plants.

    Coal, Power and Coal-Powered Politics in Indonesia

    Indonesia is among the countries with the largest planned coal power capacity additions worldwide, thereby posing a substantial challenge for global climate change mitigation goals. To understand the underlying political drivers, the authors of this chapter carry out expert interviews and examine how individual actors and their objectives have been driven by the development of public infrastructure, while securing popularity for the presidential election in 2019.

    Climate Obstruction and Foreign Policy in Comparative Perspective

    The fight against climate change continues to be hindered by campaigns of corporate and other actors who seek to prevent global and/or national action on climate change. This research group is set up to a joint and comparative research agenda on climate obstruction in and across key Global South countries. The lead institutions are the GIGA and the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ).
