Nippon Steel Corporation and ITOCHU Corporation are reported to be in the running to buy a 20% stake in Whitehaven Coal's Blackwater mine in Queensland 💀😱. On Monday a team of dedicated climate champions delivered letters to their offices asking Nippon and Itochu to rule out the #RiskyBusiness of partnering with climate vandals. Any fossil fuel expansion contributes to global temperature rises, destroys First Nations Country, and contaminates water that we all need to survive. And we are determined to stop these mines for a shared safe-climate future.✊ Sign up to our coal finance webinar next month, and join the #squad to stop more $$ from going to Whitehaven Coal 💸💸 https://lnkd.in/grKwqRUk

Roll up to the ANZ circus – it’s a fossil fuel farce 🎪 ANZ has poured $18.6 billion and counting into coal, oil and gas since the Paris Agreement. It’s almost like these jesters think climate change is a joke 🤡 #ANZclowns #climateaction #finance

Jefferies says “Climate change is currently one of the top-tier risks to humanity and poses significant challenges for the global economy.” So why is the bank backing some of the most notorious coal mining companies in Australia: Adani Group, Whitehaven Coal and New Hope Group? #climatechange #coal

🚨 GREENWASH ALERT 🚨 Bank of America says it is committed to the Paris Agreement and #netzero by 2050. So why is it backing Whitehaven Coal – a company with massive coal expansion plans – when its own policy suggests that in 2025 it could not do the same deal? 

We have MASSIVE NEWS! Move Beyond Coal’s campaign to get NAB out of funding climate wrecker Whitehaven Coal has hit a new level of impact and success. Last week in their 2023 Climate Report, NAB announced the following: “NAB has further reduced exposure to thermal coal and, as at 30 September 2023, NAB no longer has any (a) corporate lending to thermal coal mining customers or (b) project finance in respect of thermal coal mining assets. NAB intends to maintain this position into the future.” In other words - NAB has announced it plans to never again invest in a company whose primary activity is mining thermal coal. This is a massive blow to the thermal coal sector and a testament to the huge people-powered movement that has been pushing NAB to end funding for Whitehaven Coal and thermal coal in order to protect lives, livelihoods and our climate. From Extinction Rebellion Australia to 350.org Australia , Market Forces and the Move Beyond Coal movement, thousands of people in the last few years have pushed for NAB to put an end to dangerous fossil fuel lending. While there is much more work to be done, this announcement proves that people-powered movements can drive finance out of fossil fuels!

School students are STRIKING on 17 Nov and they need your support! ✊ Students will walk out of their classrooms, to the office of their local MP, and demand the Government #ShiftThePower away from the corporations profiting from new coal and gas projects. Join an action near you to demand the Labor Government take serious climate action, starting with no new coal and gas projects. https://lnkd.in/gAK6AHre

BREAKING: Environmental Council of Central Queensland (ECoCEQ) and Environmental Justice Australia have lost their court challenge to Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek’s failure to act on the climate impacts of two huge coal projects. This shameful decision will directly affect lives, livelihoods and ecosystems all around the world, and goes to show just how much Australia’s environmental laws are broken. Australians deserve strong environmental laws that protect our environment from the climate harm caused by new coal and gas projects. 😞 This opens the door for the Albanese government to approve two new massive thermal coal mining projects in NSW - MACH energy’s Mount Pleasant coal mine expansion and Whitehaven Coal’s Narrabri coal mine expansion and potentially another 23 coal projects if Australia’s environmental laws continue to ignore the climate impacts of new coal and gas. Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has one job to do: to protect the environment. However, she can’t do her job if she continues to approve new coal and gas. Contact your MP and call on them to stop Labor from approving destructive new coal and gas! https://lnkd.in/gyzxy7KH

This tweet = chefs kiss 👌 The Albanese government was elected with a mandate for strong climate action, but instead they are approving new coal mines left right and center. It's utter hypocrisy.
