SIGN: NO NEW OR EXPANDED COAL
To Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek and Climate Minister Chris Bowen,
For a safe climate future, there can be no new or expanded coal. Stop extending the life of coal and instead ensure a plan and support for communities to phase out fossil fuels for renewables.
For decades Traditional Owners have fought to protect water, sacred sites and the climate from coal mining.
We urge you to listen to Traditional Owners and support local communities through a rapid transition away from coal.
