EMPOWERING COAL WORKERS AND COMMUNITIES
Liberal and Labor are lying to workers and communities, saying coal can keep going for decades when science says it clearly can’t.
Coal is coming to an end, we know that. We can't abandon coal workers and communities. We need to look after people working in the coal, oil and gas industries with well-managed transition planning driven by workers and communities and supported by all levels of government.
The Greens will:
- End coal and gas by 2030
- Give workers and industry certainty over when coal-fired power stations will close down so they can plan ahead
- Establish a NSW Energy Transition Authority
- Look after people working in the coal, oil and gas industries, with ready access to training and financial security
- Raise $8bn/year in coal and gas royalties
- Create hundreds of jobs
- Clean up and restore mining and power station sites
We don’t need to choose between taking urgent climate action and supporting coal communities. We can do both.
Will you add your name to make sure coal workers and communities are supported throughout the transition to renewables?
