Universal access to clean and affordable energy requires a transformation of both the production and use of energy[1]. To reduce coal use by 70 percent by 2030 means a five-fold increase in wind and solar energy, as well as phasing out and closing 2,400 coal-fired power stations globally within the next decade[2]. Facilitating the transition to replace fossil-fuel energy with renewable energy will be expensive, but it is much cheaper to mitigate climate change than to adapt to climate change[3].
