If all the goals are included, Australia ranked 35 because it scored higher on health, education, clean water and some economic indicators.

Non-Mining Businesses Caught in the Crosshairs of Climate Change Activism
Major private engineering firm BMD has said that blanket bans targeting the coal mining industry in the name of addressing climate change have swept up non-mining related businesses.
The company’s CEO Scott Power has told a parliamentary committee that despite being an engineering firm, his company has been unable to find insurance for two infrastructure projects because they involve transporting coal and goods for a mining project.
BMD which employs 17,000 workers and 10,000 contractors is constructing a rail line connecting the Carmichael coal mine located within the Galilee Basin in western Queensland to the Port of Abbot Point in the state’s east. BMD is also upgrading a stormwater system within the Port’s coal terminal.
