Philippine gov’t eyes coal mining shutdown
The Department of Energy (DoE) is collaborating with the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) to assess the socioeconomic impact of transitioning away from coal in the Philippines' energy sector.
The study will specifically examine the effects of shutting down coal mines and coal-fired power plants on workers and communities reliant on the industry.
A key focus of the research is to estimate the financial resources needed to support displaced workers and affected communities.
This initiative aligns with the global movement towards cleaner energy and decarbonization, which necessitates phasing out coal-powered generation and, consequently, coal mining.
