More than 20 coal proposals in NSW are affected and the ruling could reach every coal and gas project in the country. Congratulations to DAMSHEG and their mighty legal team at Johnson Legal.

THIS IS A MAJOR WIN FOR CLIMATE ACCOUNTABILITY.
CONGRATULATIONS TO DAMSHEG AND THEIR MIGHTY LEGAL TEAM AT JOHNSON LEGAL.

Planning authorities now have to consider the local climate damage caused by coal and gas projects, and that includes the emissions from coal burned overseas.

EXPORTED EMISSIONS COUNT
This case creates a precedent. Climate impacts caused by coal and gas projects cannot be ignored when governments decide whether a project should go ahead.

Concerns raised by DCAN included the destructive fracking for gas in the NT’s Beetaloo Basin, the proposed pipeline to bring the gas to the east cost for export and the proposed drilling for gas close to the precious Scott Reef off the WA coast, which would be an ecological and climate disaster.

The second is to build clean power everywhere, creating a movement strong enough to push governments to stop building coal, oil and gas projects we no longer need and start building clean energy instead.

The letter asks for two things. Firstly, build clean power for everyone, starting with the one in 10 people on earth who live without reliable electricity. The letter says it takes just US$15 to give one person clean power for a generation.

Darebin Climate Action Now @darebincan.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

The letter starts from the link between war & warming. The oil that governments fight over is the same oil that's heating the planet. It's also the cause of polluted air in Delhi, the price of fuel in Vietnam, the cost of electricity in the US & the floods in the Himalayas. All fossil fuel related.
