Winter Edition of the CLASS Newsletter: Czech Coal Commission decided on coal phase-out, Bečva river poisoned, and more

Here, you can read the winter edition of the newsletter published regularly by our Centre for Climate Law and Sustainability. The latest edition offers all important information on the recent decision of the Coal Commission that voted for 2038 to finish the Czech coal phase-out; how to assess this decision from the perspective of the Paris climate targets, and whether the situation is comparable to Germany that selected the same year for their coal phase-out. Moreover, we summarize what we’ve known on the catastrophic September ecological disaster on the Bečva river. We also add new information about the plans on the new nuclear unit at the Dukovany power plant, and several other interesting topics.
