Figres: If the Three Kingdoms unanimously decide to end the coal e -competition and build the future of clean energy, all countries around the world will benefit.

If the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Chinese, and South Korean President Moon Zaiyin asked the government to stop providing support to coal power, and the rapid development of more clean and lower cost renewable energy will cause a huge impact on the development of fossil fuel.Fossil fuel is the main cause of the world's imminent climate disaster.

From 2008 to 2016, the cumulative coal -fired power generation capacity of Japan, China and South Korea exceeded 130 Gaval, which was equivalent to the national power generation capacity of France.The Three Kingdoms will continue to export high -pollution coal power technology to the rapidly developing Southeast Asian economy, and use its own economic strength to sell the rapid devaluation equipment to the above economies.

Special Committee (IPCC) warning between the intergovernmental climate change warning that if the safe and heating control target stipulated by the Paris Agreement is to be achieved, before the global elimination of coal power in 2050, the number of global coal -fired power stations in the next 10 years must be reduced by two -thirds (

UN Secretary -General Antonio Bull; Antoacute (NIO GUTERRES) recognizes that there is no room for development of new coal power production capacity.Large emission reduction.Recently, Secretary -General of Gutres called on all countries to stop building new coal -fired power stations by 2020.

If at the United Nations Climate Action Summit held in New York in September this year, the three East Asian countries can reach a three -party agreement, and it will create a history to open a way to achieve a more secure climate in the future.

In recent years, the number of coal -fired power stations worldwide has declined sharply.Last year, the number of shutdings of coal -fired power stations exceeded the number of newly -built Mdash; mdash; this situation may be the first time since the 19th century.

On June 12, the Norwegian Parliament passed a bill demanding that the world's largest sovereign wealth fund withdrawn from eight coal companies to withdraw $ 6 billion to increase the capital to renewable energy to increase capital of $ 20 billion.

Recently, more than 100 financial institutions have decided to withdraw funds from coal power projects around the world, and have continued to accelerate the withdrawal of capital.At present, almost all the coal -fired power stations under construction are dependent on public financing, and Japan, China, and South Korea are almost exactly the same.

Promote financing towards clean energy transfer MDASH; mdash; use public financing to benefit MDASH; mdash; will change this status quo.

Global Energy Monitor said that China provides financing for more than 50%of the world's construction coal -fired power stations.

The new plan of China's energy development will soon decide the fate of hundreds of new coal -fired power stations.However, 40%of the coal -fired power stations in China are in a state of losing money. If China can completely eliminate coal power in accordance with the requirements of the Paris Agreement, it can save up to 400 billion US dollars.

China has already showed positive signs.At the end of 2015, China originally planned to build a new 515 Gilva coal -fired power generation capacity, which is equivalent to hundreds of new coal -fired power stations.Subsequently, the new coal power production capacity was cut by 86%.Recently, the National Energy Administration of China has canceled the ban on the new coal -fired power plant, which can order the Energy Administration to change the policy and promote the suspension of the provinces to stop approval of the new coal -fired power plant MDash; MDASH; the people in any region of China do not want to breathe harmful air.

Recently, Japan announced the long -term strategy under the Paris Agreement, including the rapid achievement of net zero emissions after 2050.Japanese Minister of Environmental Minister Katsuo Yoshiko announced in March that he opposed the creation of any new coal -fired power stations.Japan is more influential and usually has a decision.

But in the end, Prime Minister Abe's office said.At the Davos Forum earlier this year, Abe called for climate change through changes and innovation in his speech.

Perhaps this appeal has been followed by Japanese financial institutions.The speed of withdrawal from Japan from the field of coal power is surprising.In addition to China, Mitsubishi UFJ, the largest global bank, is stopping financing for new coal -fired power stations and promised to lead the Japanese banking industry to evacuate the coal power industry.

Large -scale trading providers Marubeni and Mitsubishi are exiting ownership of new coal power projects and stopping these projects.At the same time, the insurance industry has also put forward new restrictions on coal power.

South Korea plans to cover 35%of the total power demand for renewable energy by 2040, which will be four times that of the current level.The country's latest general energy development general plan shows that it will transform from coal power and nuclear power to renewable energy and natural gas.Compared with other forms of fossil fuels that are harmful to the climate, renewable energy is a better choice.South Korea has the potential to promote the leading position in the field of battery, solar and wind power in batteries, solar energy and wind power.

If Japan, China, and South Korea unanimously decide to end the coal e -competition, and will compete for the construction of a clean energy future, all countries around the world, including the three countries, will benefit.
