Fossil fuel companies acting like colonial overlords and getting their opponents persecuted and jailed, the @TotalEnergies #EACOP version. Solidarity with Joss Mugisa and all Ugandan activists against @TotalEnergies . #StopEACOP

This is a pattern, with the Ugandan state, supported by the French government @FrenchEmbassyUg (remember @TotalEnergies is France's largest company!), arresting Ugandans who dare to criticize #EACOP . Activist @BarigyeBob1 is still arrested as well.

Monsieur en rouge

@MonsieurEnRouge

Insomma ancora una seduta del processo contro TotalEnergies per il progetto #EACOP che devasterebbe e in parte sta già devastando Uganda e Tanzania si è svolta oggi nella totale indifferenza Non un cartello, una bandierina, uno slogan davanti al tribunale giudiziario di Parigi.

Cos'è EACOP? Sta per East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline, è il progetto di un oleodotto riscaldato a 50°C per tutta la lunghezza di oltre mille km dai giacimenti presso il lago Albert in Uganda, verso le coste della Tanzania. Un obbrobrio ambientale, ma anche sociale. #StopEACOP

Il progetto ha già portato all'esproprio di terre, con metodi da colonialismo ottocentesco, su cui vivevano quasi 200 000 persone, specie contadine, trasferite senza adeguato indennizzo e verso terre meno produttive. Risultato: indebitamento, impoverimento, disoccupazione.

Oil Change International

@PriceofOil

Today at #COP27, we @priceofoil released a briefing peeling back the curtain on the oil & gas industry’s expansion plans: the new extraction approved in 2022 & what’s in the queue for 2023-2025ーunless govts put a stop to it ➡️ priceofoil.org/investing-in-d…

A thread 🧵

First, let’s look at the deep hole the fossil fuel industry has already drilled, dug, and fracked us into. 🔥Oil & gas fields already producing or approved PRIOR to 2022 would cause 490 GtCO2, if fully extracted. 🔥

That alone is enough to push the world past 1.5C warming.

Yet, the oil and gas industry keeps digging the hole deeper. We find new fields & fracking wells approved in 2022 + on the brink of approval in the next 3yrs would lock in an extra 70 Gt of CO2. That’s equal to 17% of the world’s remaining 1.5C carbon budget. #InvestingInDisaster

@greenpeacefr

Aujourd’hui le PDG de @TotalEnergies était invité par le Conseil d’Etat à intervenir pour le colloque “Quelle transition énergétique pour quels objectifs ?”

Face à ce choix pour le moins original, nous avons adressé un courrier au Conseil d’Etat. THREAD 🧶 1/10

https://twitter.com/Conseil_Etat/status/1592069941368590339

Au cas où ce ne serait pas clair pour tout le monde, commençons par rappeler que la responsabilité - immense - des entreprises pétro-gazières dans la crise climatique ne fait plus débat. 2/10

Rappelons aussi que TotalEnergies est au courant depuis 1971 que son activité détruit la planète, mais qu’elle a choisi d’organiser la désinformation en mettant en place une stratégie du doute pour perpétuer son modèle économique dévastateur.

@BarakatLuca

Weil gerade alle auf Twitter über die EACOP-Pipeline sprechen:

Ein Thread mit allen Infos rund um das Projekt: ⬇️

Die East African Crude Oil Pipeline ist eine (geplante) Pipeline zwischen Uganda und Tanzania.
Mit ihren 1443 geplanten Kilometern ist sie die längste beheizte Ölpipeline der Welt.

Das geplante Fördervolumen beträgt am Tag ca. 190.000 Barrel also knapp 30 Millionen Liter am Tag.

Das Projekt gehört zu den größten Fossilen Bauprojekten dieses Jahrhunderts und gefährdet die Einhaltung des Pariser Klimaabkommens der beiden Staaten.
Zusätzlich liegt das sich dadurch stärkende Tilenga-Ölfeld im größten Nationalpark Ugandas und würde Flora und Fauna zerstören.

1/ @TotalEnergies' East African Crude Oil Pipeline is corporate colonialism in action.

We're unraveling the financial web of the world’s largest proposed pipeline. It's time to #StopEACOP & invest in a climate-safe future.

🧵 Who's banking on EACOP? ⬇️ bit.ly/CSPNCasestudy

2/ Canada’s #1 fossil fuel bank is bankrolling the EACOP pipeline – threatening drinking water of 40 million AND worsening the climate emergency.

We don’t have time for fossil fools: tell @RBC to stop investing in climate chaos now ⬇️
#RBCIsKillingMe #cdnpoli

3/ Just 15 U.S. pensions are heavily invested in @TotalEnergies & @CNOOCUgandaLt to the tune of $1 billion.

Urge pensions to live up to their fiduciary duty pensions must #divest for a climate safe future.

While @TotalEnergies & those attempting to push through EACOP claim it will benefit local communities, a majority of the fossil oil of the world's largest proposed pipeline would be for export.😡

@NaceNicolas

J'étais présent ce matin devant la tour de @TotalEnergies à la Défense suite à l'appel de @CamilleEtienne_ et de nombreuses ONG pour dénoncer le projet de Total du + long pipeline de pétrole brut chauffé au monde qui traverserait l'Ouganda et la Tanzanie
#StopEACOP

Pour se le représenter, on parle d'un pipeline + long que la diagonale française Brest-Nice

Un projet climaticide (qui générerait chaque année 7 fois les émissions de l'Ouganda), qui pourrait entraîner le déplacement de 100.000 personnes et nuire gravement aux écosystèmes locaux

Un nouveau projet climaticide & inacceptable sur les droits humains par @TotalEnergiesPR

La liste est longue: Birmanie, Arctique, Russie juste sur les dernières années et encore j'en passe...

Il serait peut-être temps de remettre en questions vos choix stratégiques @PPouyanne ?

I will be live tweeting from the @HSBC AGM, where HSBC's management-backed climate resolution will be voted on

Expect lots of questions on the #EACOP pipeline, biodiversity, fossil fuels & other ESG issues from @ShareAction & many others

Let's go 👇

#HSBCAGM #AGMactivism

HSBC's Chair of the Board Mark Tucker opens the AGM by reflecting on the past year & the future ahead - a world of uncertainty

He reminds everyone of the reason why HSBC was founded: to connect East & West

He goes through HSBC's future priorities, many of which are ESG-oriented

E.g. He recognises that HSBC has not done enough in the past to foster diversity - but this will change

He ends his speech talking about the need to speed up the transition to net-zero

He recognises that we "need to reduce and ultimately eradicate our reliance on fossil fuels"

Hello everyone,
Here to remind you about educating girls! When you think of climate solutions, you probably think of renewable energy or electric vehicles. But while we need these kinds of innovations, there are other powerful solutions we are not paying proper attention to.

There exists an environmental solution that can reduce inequality, build resilience to the climate crisis and reduce emissions all at the same time. It’s called educating girls and young women, and it needs to happen now.

If we are to limit global heating to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, then educating girls is one of the best tools we have. According to nonprofit group Project Drawdown, investing in universal education and family planning in low- and middle-income countries could reduce
