Stop Climate Chaos Coalition
Stop Climate Chaos (SCC) is the largest coalition of groups and individuals dedicated to taking action in the UK on climate change and limiting its impacts.
With a combined membership of over four million the coalition, of which WWF-UK is proud to be a founder member, brings together over 70 organisations – from environment and development charities to unions, faith-based groups and women's groups. Together, we lobby and campaign for political action in the UK to prevent global temperatures rising to the point where catastrophic climate change becomes inevitable.
With partners in SCC, WWF has campaigned successfully to strengthen the UK Climate Change Bill. The coalition’s attention is now switching to ensuring the UK can deliver on the target to reduce emissions.
Electricity generation is the single biggest source of carbon dioxide emissions in the UK. It is the sector in which we can achieve the biggest emissions reductions most quickly, through adoption of renewable energy generation and increased energy efficiency. WWF-UK’s and the SCC’s new campaign focuses on calling for a halt to the development of a new generation of coal-fired power stations unless they are fitted from the outset with proven technology to capture the carbon they emit, which can then be stored safely. In parallel, we are encouraging the government to commit to a programme of action to maximise the UK’s energy efficiency and boost our renewable energy supply.

The decision to phase out coal use unless the CO2 is captured is a global imperative, if we are to preserve the wonders of nature, our coastlines, and our social and economic well being.
