Core values

- **Community Protection and Awareness**: The EDO, particularly through its Fossil Fuel Tracker, provides communities with accurate and timely information about coal, oil, and gas projects, enabling them to exercise their public participation rights and protect their environments[1].
- **Environmental Justice**: The EDO combines social justice and environmental protection, focusing on disadvantaged communities that are often disproportionately affected by environmental degradation. This work is crucial for addressing quality of life and human rights issues in these communities[4].
- **Legal Support and Education**: The EDO offers critical legal resources and education, helping communities protect the places they love and defend against harmful environmental projects. This support is essential for communities on the frontline of climate change and pollution[1][4].
- **Promoting a Liveable Climate**: By working to prevent new fossil fuel approvals and mitigate the impacts of existing projects, the EDO contributes to creating a better world where nature thrives and the climate is more liveable[1].
