Move Beyond Coal’s campaign to get NAB out of funding climate wrecker Whitehaven Coal has hit a new level of impact and success. 💪 A 🧵
#MoveBeyondCoal #nonewcoal #climatejustice
Last week NAB announced: “NAB has further reduced exposure to thermal coal and, as at 30 Sep 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 also said they "intend 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.
While there is much more work to be done, this announcement proves that people-powered movements can drive finance out of fossil fuels! Read more pulse.ly/ldgvv4xyki

BREAKING - A new report from @LockTheGate has revealed Labor's safeguard mechanism policy will pay 10 coal mines to INCREASE their emissions by more than double. This is utter hypocrisy. A thread 🧵
#auspol #climatejustice @Bowenchris @AlboMP
@LockTheGate @Bowenchris @AlboMP The final details of Labor’s Safeguard Mechanism climate policy will allow 10 open-cut coal mines to receive credits worth up to $180 million for increasing pollution.
Put simply, these 10 mines (which represent around 30 percent of Australia’s coal production) could be paid to pollute, without taking any action to reduce emissions.
The NSW EPA has the power to make reducing #coal mine #methane a priority in its new climate plan. Even a super short submission makes a difference: getupau.typeform.com/to/rTnPzhd0
