TotalEnergies & CNOOC have decided to increase their financial commitments to #EACOP, as lenders to their own project. This reflects the collapse of external financing for the $5.6bn pipeline amid widespread rejection by banks & insurers due to environmental, human rights & climate risks

The same giant oil company - from France - trying currently to clearcut swaths of indiginous communities across Africa found guilty of deception, "greenwashing." A big legal victory for #ClimateJustice. More!

👻 Not all monsters wait for #Halloween.

TotalEnergies displaces families in Mozambique, grabs land in Uganda via EACOP, and destroys ecosystems across Africa, all while spending millions on greenwashing.

It's all tricks or tricks but no treats.

On #Halloween we experience a night of frights for fun. But under TotalEnergies, communities endure a lifetime of terror.

Reality of #ClimateCrisis for a grandma in Malawi - Gladys Khumbidzi first moved due to repeated floods. Then the water supply began drying up at her new home so she moved again. Now she is struggling to feed herself & her family as flooding one yr & drought the next means she cant grow enough food

For decades, TotalEnergies has profited from Africa’s resources while communities pay the price: pollution, displacement, and lost livelihoods.😠

On Aug 22, we’re putting them on trial in the Kick Total Out of Africa #PeoplesTribunal.🔔

Hear the evidence.

An unlivable Africa? Not on our watch!

We refuse to go down with the polluters who have zero regard for human life and nature!

This is why we push so hard against gas expansion in Africa.

The cost of climate denialism is like the cost of climate inaction: impossible to quantify and simply too high to pay.

In a powerful effort to restore our environment, we joined forces with the UTGSU to plant mangroves. Beyond protecting coastlines and nurturing aquatic animals, these remarkable trees are a natural defence against climate change, trapping carbon and building a more resilient ecosystem.
