“Uganda’s oil and gas development has historically been characterised by limited transparency, particularly regarding production-sharing agreements and public access to information,” said Samuel Okulony https://t.co/x7fDOq7ngF

If #IndigenousCommunities are not fully recognized, who has to protect their rights?

Indigenous Peoples in Uganda include communities such as Benet, Batwa, minority groups such as the Ik & Basongora pastoralists, who are not recognized specifically as Indigenous Peoples by the government.

All these communities have experienced various human rights violations including continued forced evictions from ancestral lands without adequate (or any) compensation.

WWDs are often labeled as “vulnerable,” but that framing is incomplete. They are also leaders, knowledge holders, and essential partners in shaping resilient, climate-ready communities.

True climate justice means recognizing their leadership.

🔨🔋Uganda is positioning itself as a key supplier of critical minerals needed for the clean energy transition.
However, mining must not come at the expense of communities, biodiversity and water resources.

Together with @WemUganda #RECIPEMA, we thank the Commission for this important engagement with IPs, youth, ethnic minorities, and women with disabilities. We commend your commitment to inclusive climate leadership and justice for vulnerable communities. @CIVICUSalliance

[Equal Opportunities Commission @EOC_UG]

Happy Heroes day.

The Commission celebrated the Heroes day with environment defenders, Ethnic Minority Groups and Women with disabilities.
The engagement themed: Development of engagement framework on inclusive climate leadership, policy and climate negotiations for indigenous communities, women and youth.

The Commission appreciates that climate change affect every aspect of human life. The adverse effects of climate adversely affect vulnerable communities, exacerbates inequalities. Equally, Vulnerable groups such as impoverished communities, rural farmers, and displaced populations often degrade their local environments out of absolute necessity rather than choice.

The Commission assured the participants of its commitment to ensure climate justice for indigenous communities and other vulnerable persons through monitoring, evaluation and ensuring that policies, laws plans programs l, activities, practices l, traditions, cultures and usages of environment are compliant with equal opportunities and affirmative action. #EqualOpportunitiesForAll

🚨Oxfam report: Six fossil fuel corporations, including TotalEnergies, will rake in $94 billion by 2026. As they attract investments for controversial projects like #EACOP, East Africans face a 90% funding gap for adaptation. EACOP funds corporate greed! https://t.co/pqMoYBg9xj

This was very informative session especially showing women power leading the struggle.We are happy to be part the Academy.

We grew up depending on land for our livelihood ,taking it away means taking our lives🥲. Kapapi communities cry over land violations. We demand an ends to this injustice during this #GlobalWeekOfAction to #KickPollutersOut!
OUR LAND OUR RIGHTS OUR FUTURE

[GreenfaithUganda @GreenfaithUg]

From West to East and Southern Africa, Total arrives with promises and leaves disaster and social injustice. GreenFaith Africa stands with the Niger Delta, Cabo Delgado, and every community that was sacrificed for oil. Africa needs a fossil fuel-free future, built by us, for us.

[Women on Environment Mission @WemUganda]

@WemUganda supported women affected by oil projects to petition TotalEnergies over the gendered impacts they continue to face. #GlobalWeekOfAction #StopEACOP #KickTotalOutOfAfrica @stopEACOP

They profit. Africa suffers. Communities drown, forests burn, futures collapse. We refuse exploitation disguised as development. #KickPollutersOut #ClimateJustice

[Centre for Environmental Research and Agriculture @CERAIUg]

We demand a just energy transition rooted in public ownership democratic planing & community control. Affordable energy is a human right not a privilege. Community’s say during Renewable energy assembly during Global week of Action.

[Fridays For Future Uganda @Fridays4FutureU]

Africa is not for sale.
Our rivers are not pipelines.
Our communities are not sacrifice zones.

For too long, powerful fossil fuel companies have entered our land with promises of “development” while leaving behind displacement, pollution, broken livelihoods, and climate suffering.

Projects like EACOP are not symbols of progress; they are symbols of exploitation.

We refuse to stay silent while our future is traded for oil profits.

This is our soil.
Our people.
Our heritage.
And we will defend it.

During this Global Week of Action, we rise with one voice across Africa to demand climate justice and kick polluters off our continent.

The time for resistance is now.

[StopEACOP @stopEACOP]

On day three of the #KickPollutersOut Global Week of Action, we mark #AfricaDay across the continent as frontline communities demand #AffordableEnergy & an end to expensive, unsafe & unreliable #fossilfuels. #AfrikaVuka #StopEACOP #KickTotalOutofAfrica

[Oil Refinery Residents Association (ORRA) @RefineryOil]

Fossil fuels are keeping Africa in the dark and driving up our bills.  We demand localized, affordable solar and wind energy for ALL households. Power to the people, not the polluters! #AfrikaVuka #AffordableEnergyNow

Uganda’s women bear huge burdens and deep wounds due to oil exploitation activities in the country.

❓Do you want to know how deep these wounds run?
