China, which makes up roughly half of the global demand for coal, has decreased its coal use, and even though the country continues to open coal-fired power plants, those plants sit idle. Here a villager selects coal near a mine on the outskirts of Jixi, in Heilongjiang province, China.

Coal consumption in the European Union was flat last year, after declining in 2014. Below, miners leave after working the final shift at Kellingley Colliery in December 2015. Kellingley was the last deep coal mine to close in England, bringing to an end centuries of coal mining in Britain.

Miners in 2014 preparing for their final working day at Hungary's last hard coal deep-cast mine at Markushegy. The underground mine, west of the capital city Budapest, stopped producing coal at the end of 2014, in line with a European Union effort to shut down uncompetitive hard coal mines.

Workers at this mine in Choa Saidan Shah in Pakistan dig coal with pick axes, break it up, and load it onto donkeys to be transported to the surface.

All in all, global demand for coal has stalled for the first time since the 1990s, according to the International Energy Agency, which expects coal's share of global power generation to fall from 41% now to 37% by 2020, even as use rises in India and Southeast Asia. Here, a worker carries a container filled with drinking water at a railway coal yard on the outskirts of the western Indian city of Ahmedabad.

More than 200 coal-powered plants are slated for retirement in the US, where coal's share of energy generation was 36% in 2015, down from 50% 10 years prior. Here, coal miners enter a mine for the start of an afternoon shift near Gilbert, West Virginia.

In Turkey's worst mining disaster in decades, "a fire broke out [and] one of the pits was engulfed with carbon monoxide. It was Turkey's worst ever industrial accident: 301 miners died, some burnt alive, others suffocating," according to the BBC.
