“This award is testament to the relentless determination of all those involved in the Europe Beyond Coal campaign to see a renewables-based European energy system built around the best interests of people, nature and climate rise from the ashes of the fossil fuel era,” said Kathrin Gutmann campaign director at Europe Beyond Coal. “​​We are well on track for a coal-free Europe by 2030, but this is only part of the story. A fully renewables-based power sector by 2035 built upon wind and solar, and free of fossil gas, is the next step on the path to a carbon neutral and pollution free Europe. I am grateful to the Climate Breakthrough Project for this award. It will surely help us reach this goal.”
