Adani is a mining company. They are trying to build the biggest coal mine in Australia's history.

It cost many problem in local:

1. add 4.6 billion tonnes of carbon pollution to our atmosphere

2. risk the groundwater in Queensland

3. increase the risk of damaging aquifer

4. destroy the local environment without locals' consent

5. lead more than 500 coal ships travel on the sea

The supporter also provide some evidences to convince investors do not invest ADANI.

1. Supporters provide ten lies to prove ADANI can't be trust:

a)ADANI control their own Wikipedia

b)ADANI provide wrong economic benefits of its projects

c)ADANI lie about their sustainability report

d)brake laws

e)report wrong size of its coal mine

f)ADANI control the market

g)lie about their purchasing plan

h)lie about their financial situation

i)ADANI are working with human rights abusers

2. During mining:

a) some workers are dead

b)mining destroy the habitat of many dangerous animals

The stakeholders in whole things are

1. internal: mangers of ADANI; employees of ADANI; the owners of the coal mine; investors that willing or already invest ADANI

2. external: locals and local animals; government of Queensland; those human rights abusers; environment; protestors

What is the leading cause of climate change? The mining and burning of coal.

After enduring a summer of intense heat waves, bushfires, drought, floods and storms, Australians are increasingly aware of the threat global warming poses to our way of life.

If the Adani Group gets its way, it will dig the biggest coal mine in Australia's history. The Adani mine - planned to be built inland of the Great Barrier Reef - would be one of the biggest coal mines in the world.
If built, Adani's mine, rail and port project will:

Destroy the ancestral lands, waters and cultures of Indigenous people without their consent.

Allow 500 more coal ships to travel through the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area every year for 60 years.

Get access to 270 billion litres of Queensland's precious groundwater for 60 years, for free.

Risk damaging aquifers of the Great Artesian Basin.

Add 4.6 billion tonnes of carbon pollution to our atmosphere.

Critically, if allowed to go ahead, Adani's Carmichael coal mine will unlock the Galilee Basin - one of the world's largest untapped coal deposits - paving the way for at least eight more coal mines to be built. All in a time when the world knows it must be walking away from coal and investing in clean energy.
We must stop this mine. How will we do it? With the support and actions of millions of Australians like you, doing what it takes to say #StopAdani and stop this mine.
It is going to take ordinary Australians doing extraordinary things to break the hold the coal lobby has over Australian politics. The #StopAdani campaign is already made up of two million people and growing.

This campaign to #StopAdani will do more than stop one of the world's biggest coal mines being built - we will fundamentally shift Australian politics away from the vested interests of the fossil fuel industry, and give ourselves a chance at a future with a climate that is safe to live and thrive in.
See what #StopAdani events, groups or actions are taking place near you and be part of the biggest climate campaign Australia has ever seen!

Adani's Carmichael coal mine controversy

Samsung Securities give up continues invest because protesters choose Samsung as target.

What is Carmichael coal mine?

It is huge coal mine that build by Adani in the central of Queensland.

some protesters think Adani company didn't get any permission from local and Adani's mining work will destroy the environment, but Adani rejects all it and claim that there are follow the rules.

The truth is some government find that the model's data that Adani provided are wrong.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Samsung Securities, the investment arm of South Korean conglomerate Samsung, will no longer provide financial backing for Adani Mining's coal port in Queensland, Australia, and will not provide financial backing for any of the miner's coal projects. The move comes after protesters targeted Samsung over its ties to the controversial coal miner's projects.

It represents another hit to Adani following waves of protests against the company and companies associated with it due to Adani's controversial Carmichael coal mine in Queensland and the mine's associated infrastructure.

What is the Carmichael project?

Carmichael is a thermal coal mine under construction in the Galilee Basin in Central Queensland, which has been approved by the Queensland and federal governments. The project was given the go ahead in June 2019, and construction began later that year. Initially, the mine was envisioned as one of Australia's largest, but over years of planning and regulatory processes the mine has been scaled back. Adani said that once operational, Carmichael will produce 10 million tonnes of thermal coal per annum.

The project has been highly controversial, with disputes over its claimed economic benefits, financial viability and environmental damage. The #StopAdani campaign is staunchly opposed to Carmichael, claiming that if Carmichael goes ahead, it will destroy the ancestral lands, waters and cultures of Indigenous people without their consent, increase shipping traffic through the Great Barrier Reef heritage area and add around 4.7bn tonnes of carbon pollution to the atmosphere over its 60-year lifespan. Adani insists that it has "engaged every step of the way" with the traditional owners - the Wangan and Jagalingou people which voted to support the land use agreement with Adani - and "followed all Federal and State legislative processes to establish land tenure for the Carmichael project." The claim that Adani has the support of the Wangan and Jagalingou people has been contested, with critics unhappy at the way in which that support was sought.

The company also disputes anti-Carmichael activists' estimates of the mine's impact on the environment: "The project must comply with a strict regulatory framework to ensure groundwater is protected. The State and Federal Government approvals for the Carmichael Mine include around 100 different conditions relating to groundwater," Adani said in a statement.

"The mine's approvals also include provisions to protect the Doongmabulla Springs, these state the water level in the springs cannot drop more than 20cm," Adani added. "We have been working closely with regulators over a very long period and provided scientific information about groundwater in and around the mine to inform how it is managed and monitored. This includes using data collected from our network of more than 100 groundwater monitoring bores work."

Adani affirmed its commitment to meeting what it labels strict environmental requirements.

In response to this, Australian Conservation Foundation senior campaigner Christian Slattery said: "Over its life, Adani's mine will drain up to 270 billion litres from Central Queensland's precious groundwater aquifers. Independent scientists and federal government agencies such as the CSIRO have identified fundamental flaws in Adani's groundwater modelling, including the use of highly selective data that differs from on-site testing.

"One effect of Adani's deliberately misleading groundwater modelling is to downplay likely drawdown at the culturally and ecologically significant Doongmabulla Springs. As it stands, even a drawdown of 20 cm - as permitted by Adani's incredibly weak environmental conditions - could cause the complete loss of the Springs."

Carbon dioxide emissions and the economy versus climate dilemma

Adani has strongly and consistently disputed estimates of Carmichael's effect on carbon dioxide emissions. The company has stated that Scope 3 emissions - emissions created by the coal being burned overseas - would contribute less than 0.04% of global emissions. The company has also warned that not using Adani's coal from Carmichael only opens the market to lower quality coal from other sources, which would serve only to increase emissions. In a 2014 joint report to the Land Court of Queensland on carbon emissions, it was estimated that Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions over the life of the mine could surpass 4.7 billion tonnes - with the qualifier that future restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions may mean this number is not fully realised. Despite this, and despite Adani scaling back the project, numerous environmental groups including Greenpeace and the Climate Council remain opposed to the mine.

Responding to Adani's claims around Carmichael's emissions, Slattery said: "Adani has approval to build a 60 million tonne per annum thermal coal mine. This would be the largest in Australia and one of the biggest in the world. It would also facilitate other coal mines in the Galilee Basin, which is one of the largest proposed expansions of mining on the planet. As the world's climate scientists have repeatedly emphasised, the only way to slow global warming and protect places like the Great Barrier Reef is to stop digging up and burning dirty fuels like coal, oil and gas. Adani's suggestion that its mine would be a net positive for the environment demonstrates yet again the company's pathetic and dishonest attempts to mislead the public."

The economic benefits to Queensland and wider Australia have long been touted by Adani and pro-Carmichael politicians, in December 2014 the CEO of Adani Mining, Jeyakumar Janakaraj, claimed the mine would create 10,000 jobs - a figure cited by former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott as evidence the mine would be good for the country. The figure was disputed, with Adani Mining accused of providing misleading information about the project. In 2018 the project was reconfigured to a 10mtpa coal mine, and in June 2019 it was estimated the number of ongoing, operational jobs at Carmichael would be somewhere between 800 and 1,500. Adani stated that there are currently more than 700 people working on the project, and cited modelling from the Queensland Resources Council to show the project will deliver 1,500 direct and 6,750 indirect jobs.

More than 30 financial institutions have refused to finance the project, which was initially forecast as an AUD16.5bn ($11.5bn) development. In 2018, Adani downsized the project to AUD2bn ($1.3bn) and announced the project would be self-funded. Both the Queensland and federal governments have proposed various subsidies and other forms of assistance for the project. The mine has drawn scepticism over its financial viability, with concerns over the structural decline in seaborne coal markets combined with Adani's difficulty raising capital for the project. In 2015, South Korean conglomerate LG announced they would not proceed with a contract to buy coal from the mine. Most of the coal would be purchased by Adani in India.

History of opposition to Carmichael

Samsung Securities' decision to pull support for the project is just the latest in several contracts that have been targeted by environmental activists or by the #StopAdani campaign, intending to dismantle support for Carmichael and make it unviable. The campaigns have made the project toxic to be associated with, hence the scale of companies pulling support. The #StopAdani campaign has taken credit for convincing more than 65 companies to pull support for the project, including global banks, insurers, and long-time Adani contractor, engineering firm GHD.

In response Adani stated: "we have already awarded more than $1 billion in contracts for the Carmichael Mine and Rail Project. Despite a sustained nine-year campaign, anti-coal activists have failed to stop our project going ahead and construction is advancing in line with our schedule."

Commenting on the campaigns against Carmichael mine, Slattery said: "Adani purchased its mining tenements in the Galilee Basin as far back as 2010. Thanks to the historic grassroots Stop Adani campaign, in the decade since Adani has failed to dig up a single lump of coal. The Stop Adani campaign is much bigger than a single mine - it has catalysed urgent conversations about the future of thermal coal in public forums and private board rooms. Banks and investors across the world are reducing their exposure to thermal coal as a result of this campaign."

Several companies have pulled support for Carmichael citing wider environmental concerns around coal and as such do not lend support to any coal projects, but it has generally been the opposition to Adani that has driven these changes of policy. Insurance company Allianz "no longer offers single-site/stand-alone insurance coverages related to the construction and/or operation of lignite/coal-fired power plants and mines where lignite/coal is extracted", the firm announced in April 2020.

Global banks including Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase and more have ruled out financing coal projects with specific references to Adani Mining's activities.

The #StopAdani campaign has been creative in its methods of protest, organising marches and demonstrations against specific companies associated with the Carmichael project, as well as using social media to great effect, both in raising awareness of anti-Adani campaigns as well as directing social media centred protests at Adani and its associated companies. #StopAdani is not a centralised movement, and comprises thousands of individual activists and community groups across Australia, giving the movement a degree of versatility that has so far made it difficult for corporations like Adani to effectively counter.

The go-ahead for the Adani Carmichael mine in Australia will be the end of the world's ocean jewel

On June 12, 2019, Indian billionaire Gautam Adani's controversial coal mine project in Queensland, Australia, was given its final major approval.

Queensland also happens to be home to the Great Barrier Reef - a vast World Heritage-listed global ocean icon covering an area the size of Rajasthan.

Adani had lobbied the state and national governments for years, promising a jobs bonanza for the region.

In 2017, the state's Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk took a delegation to India to show the state's "support" for the project.

I travelled with an alternative delegation to challenge the Premier. How could she say she was the biggest supporter of our Reef, while promoting a massive coal mine, we asked.

We took a letter co-signed by more than 50 prominent Australians - including scientists, business figures, conservationists and cricket legends Ian and Greg Chappell - into Adani's headquarters, asking the billionaire to abandon the project and turn his company to renewable energy.

In May, 2019, Australians re-elected a national conservative government. Conservationists wanted Australians to show they cared about the climate and our Reef, but instead, the election was won on a scare campaign about tax.

Within days, Queensland's Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, ordered her government to finish two remaining approvals for the Adani mine. Now her government has given those approvals, clearing the way for Adani to start work.

Adani's project will mine 10 million tonnes of coal a year from the Galilee Basin, build 200 kilometres of rail to connect to an existing railway, before exporting the coal out of Adani's port on the Queensland coast.

From there, container ships will weave their way through the Great Barrier Reef and out to India and other customers, where the coal will be burned in power stations.

This route through the reef is deeply ironic, because it's the burning of fossil fuels that is warming the oceans - the root cause of the reef's problems.

How big Adani's mine could get is uncertain. The company has said its current plan would see production ramping up to 27.5 million tonnes per year, but in recent days, the company's Australian chief said the project had "opportunity to be able to grow" to 60 million tonnes a year, in line with its approvals.

But what is worrying everybody who cares about the future of the Reef, is the prospect that the Adani mine will be just the first of five or six other coal mines that will look to exploit the massive coal reserves in the Galilee Basin.

Among those miners with interests in the Galilee is GVK Hancock - a project majority-owned by another Indian billionaire, GVK Reddy.

Opening up the Galilee Basin's coal would be a disaster for the world's attempts to keep global warming to 1.5°C, and a disaster for coral reefs around the globe.

When corals sit in unusually hot water for too long, the algae that gives corals their colour and much of their nutrients becomes separated from the white coral skeleton underneath. The reef has been through mass bleaching episodes in 1998, 2002, 2016 and 2017.

In the two most recent back-to-back bleaching episodes, about half the corals died in the central and northern sections of the reef.

When scientists went back to check on their recovery, they found that the amount of coral larvae had dropped by 90 per cent. As leading Australian coral scientist Perry Hughes said: "Dead corals don't make babies."

This is why scientists agree that climate change is the reef's biggest threat. But it is not just corals that are at stake here.

The Great Barrier Reef is the habitat for thousands of species of fish, dolphins, sharks and whales that thrive in a habitat that is under huge amounts of stress.

Economists have calculated that the Reef contributes about $6.4 billion to Australia's economy every year, and gives jobs to 64,000 people in Australia.

These are compelling figures, but in fact the Great Barrier Reef is priceless. As custodians, Australia has a responsibility to look after our ocean jewel.

Every new fossil fuel project puts that jewel at risk.

The Carmichael coal mine, located in Queensland, Australia, owned by Adani Group. Built in June 2019, started work on Dec 29th 2021. However, limited by the financials, the scale of the mine was significantly minimized from 60 million tonnes to 10 million tonnes per year.

Campaign, known as Stop Adani, is caused by the environmental effect of mining on the Great Barrier Reef. Also caused by its economic problem.

The mine was announced in 2010, the program was approved by July 2014, delayed by August 2015, reapproved by October 2015. Influenced by the traditional owners and environmentalists , the approval and building of the mine were significantly delayed.

The thermal coal in the mines was expected to consist of 11 percent ash, and have a weight average value of 5-5.5 kcal/kg.

The mine is located in the Galilee Basin, which has no history of coal mining.

Transportation to the mine includes 200 km of Carmichael Rail Network, which was completed in September 2021. And an airstrip began in June 2020.

According to data, in the 60-year lifespan, the mine was supposed to produce about 200 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.

Adani planned to use 12500 megalitres per year from Belyando River, which influenced the table lever of the river.

Mining area including some rare species.

Stop Adani had tried for hundreds of times to oppose the program.

Government suggested reducing tax and asking taxpayers to pay to deal with the segments in mining, but was criticized by the Labor opposition.

The royalty payments had been allowed to be delayed.

The mining program had been opposed by local people for many times, but all failed.

The Carmichael coal mine located in Queensland, Australia, owned by Adani Group, was built in June 2019, started work on Dec 29th 2021. Limited by financial problems, the scale of the mine significantly reduced from 60 million tons to 10 million tons per year.

Mining program had been opposed by traditional owners and environmentalists for its influence on the environment.
