A national day of protest has been called by community groups following the federal government’s push for a gas-led recovery.
The #ProtectOurFutureNotGas NDA was initiated by Fridays for Future and is being organised on .
The protest aims to show solidarity with First Nations’ people opposing coal seam gas mining and fracking in NSW and the Northern Territory.
It is also calling for: an end to public funds for gas, or any other fossil fuel projects; for 100% renewable energy by 2030; all schools to go solar; and for 1 million new jobs to be created in an expanded renewable energy sector.
So far, more than 70 community groups have indicated their support, including Â鶹´«Ã½.
Gas is not clean energy and the federal government is not aiming to use it to transition: it is a dangerous polluting fossil fuel and extracting it releases methane, which has a global warming potential up to 84-86 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
