Abstract
Rapidly advancing climate change and environmental degradation are nowadays the key challenges of the modern world and, therefore, a threat to Europe. According to the European Green Deal, by 2050, European Union countries will achieve zero net greenhouse gas emissions, which is directly connected with significantly reducing or completely stopping the use of fossil fuels for energy purposes. Poland, and especially the inhabitants of Silesia, must face a change concerning their cultural heritage and their way of life. The aim of this article is to answer the question of whether the inhabitants of the Silesian agglomeration are ready to resign from coal-based energy. Are they aware of the changes in their closest environment related to decarbonisation. This article presents the results of a survey carried out in order to identify the attitude of Silesian cities' inhabitants towards decarbonisation. The study was carried out by means of an online survey using Google Forms and was addressed to the inhabitants of cities in the central part of the Silesian Voivodeship.
期刊介绍:
Acta Montanistica Slovaca publishes high quality articles on basic and applied research in the following fields:
geology and geological survey;
mining;
Earth resources;
underground engineering and geotechnics;
mining mechanization, mining transport, deep hole drilling;
ecotechnology and mineralurgy;
process control, automation and applied informatics in raw materials extraction, utilization and processing;
other similar fields.
Acta Montanistica Slovaca is the only scientific journal of this kind in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe.
The submitted manuscripts should contribute significantly to the international literature, even if the focus can be regional. Manuscripts should cite the extant and relevant international literature, should clearly state what the wider contribution is (e.g. a novel discovery, application of a new technique or methodology, application of an existing methodology to a new problem), and should discuss the importance of the work in the international context.
