Power First!

An effective deal at Copenhagen needs us to focus on the big fixes first. The power sector is the biggest, easiest and most important of all of carbon emitting sectors to address. It can tackle climate change in one giant leap!

Biggest. Nearly one third of our global carbon emissions come from generating power.

Easiest. Just 3,300 power stations produce 95% of global power emissions. This makes power the simplest sector in which to track and reduce emissions. The technology to clean up the power sector is already proven and affordable.

Most important. Without clean power we cannot tackle climate change. Electric cars and electric heating are not clean unless powered by clean electricity.

For more information please contact us or read our campaign overview and draft legal text and our position statement.
