Tibet Moratorium
Hands off Tibet's landWhat’s the Issue?
China’s large-scale development projects in Tibet, including dams, highways, and mining operations, threaten the region’s environment, cultural heritage, and the lives of Tibetan people. These projects serve China’s strategic interests in resource control and territorial claims but have devastating effects on Tibet’s ecosystem, ancient cultural sites, and the rights of its inhabitants.
Meanwhile, the West has partnered with China for mutual economic benefit while ignoring the occupation of Tibet, the exploitation of its natural resources, and the irreversible environmental damage inflicted on the region. Western and Chinese interests in the Green Energy transition continue to violate Tibetans’ rights to their lands and resources without their consent, resulting in the arrest, imprisonment, and torture of protesting Tibetans.
What are you asking for?
Australia Tibet Council is partnering with International Tibet Network, Free Tibet, Students for a Free Tibet, Tibet Action Institute and other Tibet Support Groups around the world to say “Hand’s off Tibet’s Land!” We are calling for a global moratorium on mining and mega development in Tibet. Currently, under occupation Tibetans have no way to consent environmental changes in Tibet. It’s Tibetan land and it should be Tibetans who decide how their rivers and non-renewable resources are used.
We’re calling for an international moratorium on mega development in illegally occupied Tibet until such a time when Tibetans are free to either provide their consent to such projects or refuse consent without fear of arrest and torture.
Failing to do so is investing in and supporting the continued occupation and oppression of Tibetans by the Chinese government, and allowing the Chinese government to profit from the occupation and oppression of Tibetans.

Sign the petition: Drop China Huadian!
Thousands of Tibetans in Tibet are being forced from their homes – Entire villages flooded – Priceless, centuries-old Buddhist heritage is being destroyed.
These are the stakes if China’s Kamtok hydropower dam in eastern Tibet goes ahead.
Local Tibetans who have protested have been arrested in their hundreds and their demands ignored.
One of the main companies behind the Kamtok Dam is China Huadian. China Huadian has international investors and partners and it is time for these companies, among them Siemens Energy, Credit Agricole, and Schroders, to drop China Huadian.
China uses the credibility and global reputation of western companies to greenwash its human rights abuses. While not directly involved in the Kamtok dam these companies are NOW complicit in China’s exploitation and megadevelopment in occupied Tibet, if they do not drop their deals with China Huadian IMMEDIATELY!
TAKE ACTION: Call on Siemens Energy, Credit Agricole, and Schroders to end their partnership with China Huadian Group.
