Palau to raise Adani coal mine with Australia

The minister of environment for Palau will seek a meeting with his Australian counterpart Josh Frydenberg to discuss a giant Indian-owned coal mine proposed for Queensland.

“If the opportunity presents itself I will sit with him and relay our concern and I feel that it’s an important issue,” said Umi Sengebau, whose small Pacific island is vulnerable to rising sea levels and a major aid partner for Australia.

“I believe that the future of our planet cannot tolerate us continually burning coal. That needs to be stopped,” he said.
