It is the country\u2019s first major city to join the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) and Katowice hopes it can serve as an example for others wanting to move away from fossil fuels. By joining the alliance, the city has committed to phase out coal-fired power generation. To ensure this transition is just, it will need the cooperation of both local government and local businesses.<\/p>\n<p>There have already been several major milestones in Katowice\u2019s green transition. After it hosted the COP24 UN climate summit in 2018, in 2023 the city committed to reducing CO2 emissions by 40 per cent compared to 1990, prioritising investments in green infrastructure, and promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency. \u201cKatowice can be a model for other cities pursuing a sustainable transformation. The gradual departure from heavy industry did not bring high social costs in our city,\u201d says Marcin Krupa, Mayor of Katowice City.<\/p>\n<p>The city is still home to two mines and one coal power plant but Katowice has diversified its economy to focus instead on services, technology and culture. It replaced mining with new technology, the entertainment industry and culture. An increasing number of jobs in sectors like gaming and IT have kept the market strong and attractive to young people.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/01\/13\/how-the-heartland-of-polands-coal-industry-is-ditching-fossil-fuels-without-sacrificing-jo\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-648\/\">How the heartland of Poland\u2019s coal industry is ditching fossil fuels &#8211; without sacrificing jobs<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[955,575,7583,17569,1002],"class_list":["post-136498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-coal","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-jobs","tag-katowice","tag-poland"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136498\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
