Queensland has more proposed coal mines than any other jurisdiction in the world. It's embarrassing!
If these plans go ahead, it will be near impossible to achieve our 75% emission reduction by 2035. What's more, our analysis has found that gas leaking out of coal and gas extraction sites—will be the largest source of emissions in Queensland by 2030. That’s right, preventable gas leaks will produce more emissions than our electricity system, agriculture and transport.
For a safe climate future, we urgently need the Queensland Government to implement a plan to achieve the State's emission reduction targets! This includes toughen pollution restrictions on existing coal and gas projects, and stop approving new fossil fuel projects. Write to the Premier today!
