Time is running out to stop one of the biggest new coal mines in
the world.
Despite years of opposition and delay, the Adani Carmichael mine
could be exporting massive shiploads of dirty coal through
the Great Barrier Reef in as little as six months.
But to become operational, the Adani mine relies on a key
piece of train signalling technology that only German engineering
giant Siemens is willing to provide.
We’ve been fighting for over a year to get Siemens to reconsider
its support for the Adani mine. And now we finally have the
evidence we need: at least four environmental
breaches that could trigger the exit clause in
Siemens’ contract with Adani.
This is a crucial opportunity. With your help, we can flood
Siemens with evidence of these breaches. By making this headline
news across the world, you can force Siemens to stick to its
word and review the contract.
SIGN
the petition: Siemens, stick to your word and recognise the
environmental impacts of Adani’s coal mine.
Last year, as Australia burned in one of its worst ever bushfire
seasons, thousands of SumOfUs members were part of a massive
global effort led by indigenous Traditional Owners to urge Siemens
to rule out work on the toxic Adani mine.
Despite the massive global outcry, Siemens said it was bound by
its word and went ahead with the contract. But there was a catch:
your efforts helped force the Siemens CEO to “secure the right to
pull out of the contract if our customer violates very stringent
environmental obligations”.
Vladimir, we didn’t have the proof we needed then, but
now we do. Four environmental breaches against Adani have
been upheld. And more are now under investigation.
Last year the Wangan and Jagalingou people - the Traditional
Owners of the land on which Adani is building its mine - warned
Siemens of exactly this. That Adani has no regard for their
ancestral lands and waterways. These breaches are only
the first evidence of this. If Siemens helps Adani complete this
mine who knows how many more Adani will commit.
Add
your voice and tell Siemens it’s time to act.
The campaign to stop the Adani Carmichael mine has been one of
the most effective grassroots corporate campaigns ever. Pressure
from people across the world has forced more than 90
companies to walk away from the project.
But despite this, Adani is still stumbling towards the finish
line. And Siemens is one of the few companies left which is
helping it to get there.
Send Siemens a message now that Adani’s mine is a cost to the
climate we cannot afford.
