Speakers:
Hendrik Siregar, JATAM mining advocacy network, Indonesia
Kirsty Wright, World Development Movement climate campaigner
In the Indonesian province of Kalimantan, huge mining operations are destroying the local environment on which people depend for a living and forcing people from their villages altogether. Coal is extracted and exported, fuelling dirty electricity production and driving climate change. Hendrik Siregar will talk about the advocacy work his organisation, JATAM, does on behalf of the local communities affected.
This event is part of the Carbon Capital speaker tour, organised by the World Development Movement with the help of Colombia Solidarity Campaign, London Mining Network and Down to Earth.
