New report and films on UK-Kalimantan coal connections
A new report and three videos by the World Development Movement (WDM) follow a joint visit with DTE to Kalimantan to investigate the impacts of UK-financed coal-mining on the ground.
The report and films expose the UK financial sector's bankrolling of Indonesian fossil fuels for export. They include information about the Kalimantan coal operations of Bumi and BHP Billiton's new coal-mining development in Central Kalimantan.
They show directly the devastating impacts of Kalimantan's 'coal-rush' on local communities, their livelihoods and their environment, as well highlighting the wider implications for climate change.
