*[Enwl-eng] FOUND: Adani’s new coal mines

[enwl]

Adani’s expansion in the Asia-Pacific region of 17 coal mines, spells 
certain climate catastrophe.


                        Adani's on a coal mine expansion rampage, with 17 
new and expanded coal mines in the Asia-Pacific region. It will spell 
certain climate catastrophe.

                        Tell banks, investors, asset managers and pension 
fund managers to stop financing and supporting Adani.

            You've played a crucial role in stalling Adani's notorious 
Carmichael coal mine. But shocking new analysis shows that Adani has plans 
for 16 other coal mines across the Asia-Pacific region.

            To finance these mines Adani needs to persuade investors that 
it's committed to a green transition. It will try to do so at its annual 
shareholder meeting in just two weeks. The Adani Group is going into 
greenwash overdrive.

            The AGM is a rare chance for you, Vladimir and I to expose 
Adani's blatant lies and shine a spotlight on all the banks and investors 
helping Adani to build the new coal mines.

            Will you sign the petition demanding investors like Blackrock 
CEO- Larry Fink, Vanguard CEO- Mortimer J. Buckley, Pimco CEO- Emmanuel 
Roman step away from any involvement with the Adani Group?

            CEO Gautam Adani is already the fifth richest person in the 
world. And yet is seeking finance from US and European banks and investors 
to grow his vast wealth, by building more planet-wrecking coal mines.

            Just last week the streets of Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo were 
alive with protestors against Adani’s illegal and corrupt dealmaking.

            "Naturally we want a sustainable solution to the current energy 
crisis in Sri Lanka. However, in the current situation, it is vital that we 
do not let any corruption go unchecked. Adani is a company known for dubious 
practices. Sri Lanka deserves better." – Serena Burgess, protesting mother

            Adani has huge plans to expand coal mines across Asia-Pacific. 
But it’s not just carbon emissions that should be cause for concern for 
investors: it has a horrific track record of violence, exploitation, 
corruption, land-grabbing - the list goes on.

            There are incredible stories of courage and resistance standing 
up against this company that has stolen people’s homes and ancestral land 
from the Wangan and Jagalingou Traditional Owners in Australia, to the 
Indigenous Adivasi communities in India.

            But it’s happening in places far from where the deals are being 
made by CEOs and business people from Wall Street, to the City of London. 
The likes of Blackrock CEO- Larry Fink, Vanguard CEO- Mortimer J. Buckley, 
Pimco CEO- Emmanuel Roman would rather we stay quiet about it.

            We cannot let Adani’s record of human rights abuses against 
Indigenous communities, or the inevitable death and destruction the mines 
will cause go unnoticed. That is where you come in Vladimir.

            People-power recently forced Deutsche Bank to pull out of 
financing the Whitehaven coal mine, due to public pressure from our friends 
at Market Forces and SumOfUs members. Let's do it again.

            Adani has had its share of bad news days. It needs a good day of 
public relations for the AGM. So it’s up to us to shine a light on the 
horrifying reality of what the company is responsible for. So, will you sign 
the petition demanding all investors pull out of Adani deals?


             Sign the petition
            Thanks for all that you do,
            Nish and the team at SumOfUs
