Coal bailouts entrench harmful energy policy, violating climate and human rights with long-term lock-in effects. | The coal bailouts represent a deliberate policy choice to prop up a declining, high-emission industry, directly undermining climate action (SDG 13) and energy affordability (SDG 7). This action prioritizes short-term political interests over long-term societal and environmental well-being, violating fundamental rights to adequate living standards and sustainable development.
