I’ve created a case study of Waratah Coal v Youth Verdict (the Galilee Coal Project climate case) at https://t.co/nOBMI5UfgB. I’ll build on it as the case progresses. I’m super excited about this case. @EDOLawyers have such a great team.
@BimbleboxNR & @youthverdict's epic human rights case against Clive Palmer's coal mine, which would unlock billions of tonnes of greenhouse emissions, started at Bimblebox this week with a welcome to country by Wangan Jagalingou people (the proposed mine is on their land)
Today, we commence the hearing of the first human-rights based climate case in Australia.
Over the coming weeks, @EDOLawyers clients @youthverdict and @BimbleboxNR will argue the massive Galilee Coal Project must be rejected for its impacts on biodiversity and human rights 👇
