A coalition of civil society organisations striving for a just transition to a fossil-free, fully renewables-based European power sector by 2035. #BFF2035Beyond Fossil Fuels, an expansion of the Europe Beyond Coal campaign, is a coalition of civil society organisations striving for a just transition to a fossil-free, fully renewables-based European power sector by 2035.

Core values

- **Addressing Climate Change**: The project aims to phase out fossil fuels from the European power sector by 2035, which is crucial for limiting global warming to 1.5°C and mitigating climate change[2][5].
- **Improving Health**: By transitioning away from fossil fuels, the project helps reduce air pollution and health issues such as asthma, particularly in communities near coal-fired power plants[2][4].
- **Promoting Energy Justice**: The initiative focuses on a just transition, ensuring that the energy transition benefits citizens, municipalities, and workers, and addresses energy poverty[4][5].
- **Protecting Nature**: The project emphasizes the importance of protecting nature and ensuring that the transition respects environmental considerations[1][5].
- **Empowering Communities**: It supports energy communities and decentralizing power systems, which can enhance community well-being and participation in the energy transition[2].
