A 2010 US study showed that stopping burning coal could be done by 2030 with renewables and energy efficiency. It is worth remember that overall, air pollution accounts for 7 million deaths per year (WHO). More recently, another study showed it had to be done in OECD nations to comply with the Paris Agreement targets.
