Climate and Environmental Whistleblowing: Information Guide

With the rising influence of fossil fuel industries over Australian politics, the Human Rights Law Centre has produced a new resource to protect and empower environmental and climate whistleblowers.

Despite all of the evidence pointing the need to phase out fossil fuels to address the existential threat of climate change, there are 116 new coal and gas plants in development before 2030, and the Australian Government is providing a $1.5 billion dollar subsidy for the Middle Arm gas hub in NT.

Climate and environmental whistleblowers are everyday people who go to work, see wrongdoing which puts our planet at risk, and bravely speak up.
