Coal on the coast : Coastal Coalimity
Perspectives on coal infrastructure from east and west coast of India
Coal-based projects are threatening India’s coastline and its people. In Goa, the government wants to expand the import and movement of coking coal for the steel industry. In Chennai, coal-fired thermal plants and coal-handling ports have taken over coastal wetlands and choked the air.
Join us for a discussion on these cases and what they mean for our coastlines and our future.
