Federal investment in coal expansion violates climate and human rights with massive lock-in risk. | The action directly undermines climate action (SDG 13), clean energy (SDG 7), and indigenous rights (UNDRIP) by reviving a high-emission industry. It violates fundamental rights to health (CRC, UDHR) through increased air pollution and climate impacts. The scale and irreversibility of coal infrastructure lock-in justify a high magnitude negative assessment.
