Hundreds of labour-intensive mines will shut in the coming decades, displacing over 1 million workers.
Most of the mines slated to close have no strategies to prolong their lifespan or manage the post-coal economy.
But most of the mines likely to shut down “have no planning underway to extend the life of those operations or to manage a transition to a post-coal economy,” US-based think tank Global Energy Monitor warned. GEM looked at 4,300 active and proposed coal mine projects around the world covering a total workforce of nearly 2.7 million. It found that more than 400,000 workers are employed in mines set to cease operations before 2035.
