A group has taken Australia's fossil fuel export policy to the United Nations, arguing that it is unlawful for the government to keep approving coal and gas exports without protecting its citizens.
The case claims those exports violate human rights through their contribution to climate change. The group wants the government to reassess its obligations on emissions and export approvals.
Australia is one of the world's largest exporters of coal and liquefied natural gas. The government has not issued a detailed response, and the case has reignited debate over climate and energy policy.
