Adani’s request for the names of individual scientists reviewing their groundwater management plan has chilling implications for scientific independence.
The Queensland Labor government still must approve two outstanding environmental management plans for the Adani mine to go ahead.
Everything you need to know – where it is, the environmental impact, Indigenous land rights issues and actual profitability – of the Adani Carmichael coal mine in one simple interactive.
A small finch has stalled the multi-million-dollar Carmichael mine.
Adani has promised to fix its groundwater plan – but that might not be possible.
An appeal to the full court of the Federal Court still stands in the way of Adani’s proposed Carmichael coal mine.
Anti-fossil fuel activism is gaining ground where previous climate campaigns have failed, largely because it resonates better with people.
The federal government considered prosecuting Adani’s potential environmental negligence over the history of its Australian CEO.
The Adani project is already a stranded asset, and definitely not worthy of taxpayer support, or the risks to the Chinese of any involvement.
Here’s what it means for Queensland, Australia and the world if the mine goes ahead.
There are telltale signs when regard for the facts of the matter is sacrificed to ‘truthiness’ to win a political debate.
The proposed loan of Commonwealth money to Adani is on shaky constitutional ground, potentially paving the way for High Court challenge which could change the dynamics of federal-state funding.
Following the ABC’s Four Corners program ‘Digging into Adani’, the question that remains is: why is the project still being pursued at all?
A new lawsuit against the CBA puts climate change in a new legal light: a financial hazard. The case opens up fresh lines of attack on institutions that contribute to climate change.
The Carmichael coal mine requires a crucial native title agreement to build key infrastructure. But an Indigenous group is bringing legal action against Adani, which may create a fatal roadblock.
If the government were to provide loan insurance or loan guarantees, the banks might be more inclined to fund Adani. Taxpayers would then be at risk for the estimated $10 billion in project finance.
A new Climate Council report points out that the Paris Agreement’s carbon budget leaves no room for the development of massive new coal reserves such as the proposed Carmichael mine.
Adani’s controversial Carmichael coal mine in Queensland’s Galilee Basin has been granted an unlimited 60-year water licence. But a range of measures could help the industry use less freshwater.
Even though the setup of the Indian Adani Group draws scrutiny in developed countries like Australia, it’s common and makes sense in the context of emerging markets like India.
