More than 100 hundred members of the anti-coal network, coming from 12 different provinces of Thailand, joined the event. The report, a collaborative project between Harvard University and Greenpeace, is the first of its kind to look at illness and deaths associated with Thailand's coal-fired power plants. Coal plants in Thailand cause an estimated 1,550 premature deaths every year, according to the research. This number could rise to 5,300 a year if plans to expand electricity production by building new coal-fired plants go ahead.Locations:Bangkok-Southeast Asia-ThailandDate:19 Nov, 2015Credit:© Sittichai Jittatad / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4000px X 2667pxKeywords:Activists-Chulalongkorn University-Climate (campaign title)-Coal-Coal-fired power stations-Health-Indoors-KWCI (GPI)-Large group of people-Men-Microphones-Reports-Research-Speeches-WomenShoot:Research Reveals Health Cost of Thailand’s Coal PlantsChulalongkorn University Social Research Institute and Greenpeace Southeast Asia launch the report 'Human Cost of Coal Power: How coal-fired power plants threaten the health of Thais.'
