Introduction:
Global Warming is become the topic of debate and severe issue almost for all the departments
include politics, economy, society, business, etc. it becomes one of the biggest challenge for
human beings, and it also cause serious problems for international community (Lenzen, 2007).
There are number of studies conducted on low carbon issue, which mainly focus on emission
accounting and reduction and also consider the aspects of carbon emissions trading platform,
carbon tax and carbon emission policy (Lenzen, Wood & Weidmann, 2010).
Background to the Issues:
First section of the report discusses the background of the Adani movement conducted in
Australia, and following details related to this movement are stated below:
Issues address by campaign:
This movement mainly addresses the issues related to coal, because it is the substance which is
taking the lives of many people. Pollution occurred from burning coal is considered as biggest
contributor in the dangerous global warming, which actually threatens the life of people. Coal
mining drains and pollutes the water supplies, cause harm to the health of living beings, and also
destroys natural landscapes. Almost 3000 Australians die because of the Air Pollution. During
the period of 2016, accident occurred in the power station of Adani in which almost 7 workers
killed because of the burst of hot water pipeline, and almost 19 Australians mine workers
diagnosed with the deadly ‘Black Lung’ disease.
The main purpose of this campaign is to oppose the Carmichael coal mine proposed by Adani
(Indian miner). Stop Adani is the campaign which oppose the business conducted by Adani in
the Australia because Adani possess a history of such behavior that cause harm to the
communities and the environment.

Campaign goals:
When across the globe both individuals and governments take steps to reduce the effect of
carbon emissions on environment, at that time government of Australia give approval to the new
coal mine proposed by Adani. By allowing the new project of Adani related to rail and port
infrastructure will result in opening of entire Galilee Basin to up to 9 additional new mines of the
world’s dirtiest fossil fuel. Miles proposed by Adani not only the biggest coal mine in Australia
but it is the biggest coal mine in the world.
Burning coal from the mines of Adani will destroy the biggest natural wonder that is The Great
Barrier Reef, because if this proposal is approved than this reef becomes graveyard in few
decades.
Major heat waves also cause serious harm to the health of the people and causes number of
deaths in Australia, and these heat waves are result of the changes occurred in climate. As stated
by experts, number of death in summer season is increasing in comparison of deaths occurred in
winter season. In other words, changes occurred in climate already affecting the rates of
mortality. Mines proposed by Adani makes this situation worse, and for the purpose of restricting
these effects on climate this movement is launched.
Credibility as an activist:
There are number of people who take actions for the purpose of opposing the mining operations
proposed by Adani in Australia, but this campaign gets the heat from the entry of the fossil fuel
lobby which pumps million into advertising their out of date coal to us. This movement is started
with the idea that they have money but we have the power, and only a big movement can stop
this mine and this becomes the reason to create this movement together.
