Petition calling on Rio Tinto to cut all ties with the coal lobby today – 350 Australia
The Minerals Council, an institution of fossil fuel lobbyists, have been blocking policy and influencing Australian politics for decades, undermining any chance at the safe climate future we deserve. We need your help in weakening this group, to limit their ability to undermine action on climate change. Rio Tinto, one of the world’s biggest mining companies, says they are a leader in the industry on climate. Yet, by being a member of the Minerals Council, they are part of the problem. We aim to build up pressure against Rio Tinto, urging them to leave the Minerals Council.
