| Summary: | This report outlines structural changes
(adjustments) in the coal sector of eight countries in
different regions of the world over the last 50 years that
resulted from a transition away from coal to other energy
sources in those regions. The countries are chosen because
they provide a rich set of experiences from which lessons
can be learned to help governments prepare for and manage a
transition away from coal. Coal sector adjustment received
World Bank support in four of the countries: Russia,
Ukraine, Poland, and Romania. Broader observations are
provided on four other countries where the World Bank was
not providing support: namely, the United Kingdom and the
Netherlands, where adjustment started in the 1960s; the
United States, where employment adjustment started in the
1980s; and China, where adjustment started in the 1990s. |
