India is redefining mine closure as a pathway to sustainability, community empowerment and economic transformation. The release of AAROH – Annual Report on Mine Closure, Coal NEER plants, and key partnerships with Germany's GIZ and industry stakeholders mark a new chapter in scientific mine closure and mine repurposing. With ₹40,000+ crore committed towards mine closure and 25% earmarked for community development, we are creating greener ecosystems, sustainable livelihoods and a brighter future. Some glimpses from the event: Ministry of Coal Ministry of Mines

9 Rising Tide volunteers have stopped a coal train yesterday at the Port of Newcastle - to protest the recent approval of 3 new thermal coal mines by the Albanese government. We are extremely outraged, and we are not going to stand for it! ❌🛳️🌊

Coalfield Communities. Today in the Chamber Labour MPs spoke at length about the destruction of our coal mining industry. The MP for Whitehaven spoke about his desire for jobs in his area. I reminded him that there is a coal mine in his area that is ready to open and provide 600 jobs for local people. Have a listen to his response - he called me a populist. BTW this mine would provide 600 jobs at circa £60k for local people in an area desperate for well paid jobs. Only Reform UK would use common sense and allow this mine to open. British Coal to make British Steel

Why is it okay for Australian coal to be shipped to China, but not for us to use that same coal here? I'm at the Port of Gladstone with Dave Harris, One Nation candidate for Flynn. We've just seen a ship carrying Australian coal to an overseas market. We watch China build 2 new coal plants weekly using OUR coal and we are blowing ours up! Only One Nation's policy supports building more coal-fired power stations that will cut electricity costs by 50% in three years. It's time to put a stop to these destructive policies that are destroying our economy and putting financial strain on everyday Australians. It's time to vote One Nation!

In the Rajya Sabha today, I addressed key questions on coal exchange, coal gasification, and mine closure reforms. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Government of India has brought greater transparency and efficiency to the allocation of coal blocks through open auctions. Today, nearly 73–74% of India’s power generation comes from coal-based thermal plants, with around 80% of the coal produced being supplied to the power sector. Critical industries such as cement, steel, and fertilisers also depend heavily on coal. India holds the world’s fifth-largest coal reserves, sufficient to meet our needs for the next 60–70 years. We are further strengthening this position by accelerating exploration activities. Today, India is the second-largest coal producer globally, and Coal India Limited remains the largest coal-producing company in the world. We have also made significant progress in coal gasification, with projects worth over ₹64,000 crore underway. Highlighted that there are two types of gasification — surface and underground. We are actively advancing surface gasification, while underground gasification technologies are being carefully studied. I will share further updates once these are finalised. On mine closure, 143 coal mines are currently undergoing scientific closure processes. Dedicated nodal officers have been appointed for each site, with oversight committees led by respective district collectors. These efforts are focused not only on environmental sustainability but also on generating employment opportunities and ensuring a just transition for affected communities. Watch here:

Great news for Saint John, and for nature! More than 4,800 hectares in the Loch Lomond and Spruce Lake watersheds are now formally conserved — safeguarding clean drinking water for the community and vital habitat for wildlife. This work in partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada, the City of Saint John, and New Brunswick strengthens Canada’s efforts to build climate-resilient communities and protect the natural systems that support us all.

To do these new songs, I had to go home. Back to that wild, free, beautiful, and also tragic place. So many emotions here for me. From the highs of the New River Gorge Bridge to the lows of an abandoned coal mine, we poured a lot into these. #SonOfTheMountains Featuring Dan Tyminski and Jerry Douglas and #TheMedicineWill.

Transforming challenges into opportunities! 🇮🇳 Guided by PM Shri Narendra Modi’s vision, we are shifting from technical mine closures to a 'People-Centric' development model. With the new Mine Closure Guidelines 2025, closed mines will now serve as new beginnings, developing into eco-parks, livelihood centers, and renewable energy hubs. #SustainableMining #NewIndia #CoalSector #ViksitBharat Ministry of Coal Ministry of Mines

There are a few places where I live that 100s of these fireflies come out. It’s beautiful. See how you can help by participating, watch this cool video that breaks down how many species of fireflies and what’s being done to help the species thrive. Firefly atlas by XERCES SOCIETY While not all firefly species are endangered, many are at risk of extinction, and populations are declining globally due to factors like habitat loss, light pollution, and pesticide use. Some species, like the Bethany Beach firefly, are already considered critically endangered, while the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to list the firefly as endangered for the first time.

The Government of India’s coal gasification initiative marks a transformative step toward strengthening the future of the coal sector and India’s energy landscape. Coal mining in India began nearly 252 years ago, around 1774, with the first coal mine at Raniganj in West Bengal. Today, through coal gasification, India is witnessing the beginning of a new revolution in the coal sector. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, the coal sector has undergone a remarkable transformation. Before 2014, the news headlines around coal were often associated with uncertainty and negativity. Today, the sector is moving forward with confidence, reforms, innovation, and a renewed vision. Over the last 12 years, the Government has introduced constructive and reform-driven initiatives that are reshaping the coal sector’s future. As India moves towards the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, the coal sector carries a major responsibility and Coal gasification is set to play a defining role.

Wales' coal tips are a reminder of the wealth and resources extracted from our nation. The cost of making them safe must be paid by Westminster, but Labour won't pay the full cost. We must act urgently to ensure that Welsh communities do not face a repeat of past disasters.

We need a just transition away from fossil fuels to help us hit Net Zero . You don't make that happen with 100 new oil and gas licenses , a new coal mine , or by tearing up plans to tackle vehicle emissions & phase out gas boilers – that's why I'm taking the Government to court .

If you do not support our values and accept the Australian way of life you are not welcome here. That's why we're proposing laws that would make it illegal to help repatriate people who have supported ISIS overseas. Labor must support this proposal and protect Australians from people who seek to do us harm.

🥳 Normally I don't do this, but wanted to boast about this: yesterday I had my last pre-30th birthday (03/12) and today on St Barbara Day (04/12) I was caught by a surprise and welcomed by the ⚒ Konin Coal Mine Orchestra 🎺 with warm birthday wishes. Honored to receive such support! I visited coal miners in Konin from Eastern Greater Poland (coal region we are supporting at Fundacja Instrat) since they are at the forefront of the so-called "just transition" - plenty of talks and new reports, low impact on real people 👩‍🏭👨‍🏭. My birthday wish is to change that 💪 Big thanks to Piotr Wozny and Ms Alicja Messerszmidt from KADRA trade union and other unionists who offered us this unique chance of insight into their work ⚒

The Anthony Albanese Australian Labor Government is proud of the decisions announced a year ago this weekend to make sure every taxpayer got a tax cut, not just some. Our Government is all about Australians earning more and keeping more of what they earn compared to a Coalition that wants you working longer for less. #auspol #ausecon
