- This occurs despite the European Union's push for a climate-neutral model by 2049.
- The transition could accelerate to 2035, raising concerns for more than 200,000 coal industry workers.
- Local schools still train future miners, including Wiktor Dudek, a 17-year-old miner.
- Some mines are repurposed into museums or art galleries as mining declines.
