Meet Anjali
Anj is a remarkable 16 year old and one of eight young people who are taking the Australian Government to court in the fight for climate justice.
The plaintiffs are representing young people from around Australia to bring a class action against the Federal Minister for the Environment to protect young people from the climate change impacts of the proposed Vickery Extension Coal Project. If the court agrees that the Minister’s duty of care to protect young people from the harms of burning coal prevents her from approving new coal mines there could be huge flow-on effects. It could set a precedent preventing all new coal mines from being approved in this country.
Anj is also part of School Strike 4 Climate and is passionate about the disproportionate impacts of climate change, particularly towards young people and people of colour.
"I would love to see a future where the government prioritises clean jobs and a safe climate for all, as well as a just transition for the fossil fuel industry so that no one is left behind." -Anj Sharma
