Campaign overview

The science is clear: coal needs to stay firmly in the ground. Despite Labour declaring in its manifesto that it “will not grant new coal licences”, mining companies are still looking for ways to continue profiting from digging up coal. We’re fighting their attempts to get around the ban on coal mining.

We have already challenged the illegal extraction of coal in Ffos-y-fran in south Wales. Good Law Project will maintain a close eye on the mining industry, so that local communities are protected from the devastating health impacts of coal extraction, and so that we are all protected from coal’s devastating climate impacts. Let’s keep coal in the ground!
