NSW refers two coal projects to independent review despite climate commission’s warning they violate emissions goals.
新南威尔士的两个煤炭扩张项目 -- -- Chain Valley Colliery和Moolarben -- -- 尽管新南威尔士州净零排放委员会警告说,这两个项目与气候法和《巴黎协定》目标相冲突,但还是被移交给了该州独立规划委员会。
Two coal expansion projects in New South Wales—Chain Valley Colliery and Moolarben—have been referred to the state’s Independent Planning Commission despite a warning from the NSW Net Zero Commission that they conflict with climate laws and Paris Agreement goals.
委员会发现,这些项目破坏了新南威尔士州的排放目标,Moolarben可能到2030年增加200,000吨二氧化碳,预计到2030年,该州将达不到指标660万吨。
The commission found the projects undermine NSW’s emissions targets, with Moolarben potentially adding 200,000 tonnes of CO2 by 2030, a year when the state is projected to miss its target by 6.6 million tonnes.
州规划部在四天后审查了报告,没有考虑委员会的关键建议。
The state’s planning department reviewed the report in four days and proceeded without addressing the commission’s key recommendation.
批评者说,这个过程有缺陷,要求暂停。
Critics say the process is flawed and demand a pause.
