The Galilee Coal Project case – like all the work we’re doing for clients across the country – is about the kind of world we want to leave for the young people of today and future generations.
Children living in Australia today face a future devastated by the increasing impacts of global warming such as drought, severe cyclones, coral bleaching and deadly bushfires.
The effects of climate change are already upon us, and every new coal mine makes our global climate emergency worse.
This case is the result of thousands of hours of legal and scientific preparation, and builds on EDO’s groundbreaking work in the courts to recognise and mitigate the impacts of Australian fossil fuel projects.
Your donation to our Environmental Defence Fund will support legal cases like this, for brave clients across the country, and ensure we have the best legal minds fighting the climate and extinction crises facing the world and its peoples.
People like you drive the fight for environmental justice, and right now you have the opportunity to double the impact of any donation you make.
A generous donor has offered to match all gifts to our Environmental Defence Fund so that we can build our legal team.
The success of this opportunity relies on you – and others like you. We will only receive matching funds for what we raise.
That’s why we are asking you to help us raise the full $250,000, so it can be turned into half a million dollars to drive the essential legal fight to protect the plants, animals, places and people we love, now, and into the future.
Make your one-off gift using the form on this page, or donate by Paypal by clicking ‘Donate by Paypal’.
How much you give is entirely up you – you know it will have double the impact. And the matching gift you enable us to receive will help ensure that EDO can develop more groundbreaking legal solutions to the unrelenting challenges of climate change and species extinction.
If you are giving to commemorate a special person, place or community, please email us and let us know, so we can properly acknowledge your gift.
Thank you.
