Ahead of the #BonnClimateTalks, Oxfam warns of the stark global inequality - while adaptation funding lags, the wealth of the "super-rich" and large corporations continues to grow. Tax rich polluters! Increase #ClimateFinance#StopEACOP!
🚨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
Africa is rich in natural resources, yet many of the communities living where these resources are found remain among the most vulnerable & least reached by #socialProtection systems.
Climate justice means ensuring that the people who safeguard these lands are not left behind.
Look at that pipeline. Think about its route, perilously putting water sources, biodiversity, ecosystems at risk, by hot crude oil which will flow under pressure for the next 25 years, and having a climate impact equal to 380 million tons of CO2 💔 #StopEACOP❤️

Kapapi community has been evicted before. Now it’s happening again. And again, they are rising but this time, they're not alone.Elders, women, farmers rise up for their livelihoods & dignity have the right to say no when “development” arrives with bulldozers #KapapiLandRights
As #BonnClimateTalks continue, people along the #EACOP route are living with the consequences.
Just transition can't include fossil fuels. Climate finance should support clean cooking, adaptation, and renewables. Watch Savio share the reality for villagers in Diloda, Tanzania.

"New spatial analysis shows that the EACOP and its feeder pipelines intersect with 158 wetlands in Uganda alone, overlap with 44 protected areas, and cut through seven key biodiversity areas." #StopEACOP#SB64 https://t.co/svvHBAYW9E #simplesharebuttons
DAY 3 recap, what to expect on Day 4 in Bonn
It’s the fourth day at the Bonn Climate Conference in Germany and, already, the rubber is starting to meet the road. Difficult but vital conversations about the future of humanity and the planet 🌍 are happening 🧵
World Environment Day has passed, but the climate signals haven't.
East Africa continues to face floods, droughts and rising temperatures while fossil fuel expansion moves ahead.
Our latest blog explores what that means for EACOP, energy security and climate action.

World Environment Day invites us to take action #NowForClimate.
One way to do that is to reject new fossil fuel expansion that locks communities into more climate chaos.
Sign the petition calling on banks and investors to stop funding EACOP. https://t.co/mpz3AGVDZn
This #WorldEnvironmentDay is a reminder that climate change isn't a future threat; it's already affecting communities & ecosystems across East Africa. Explore our interactive EACOP map to see the protected areas it cuts through and what's truly at stake. https://t.co/LbCecHxuBb

A short thread of some of the key moments:
4/5 During TotalEnergies' AGM, activists camped outside the company's HQs in Johannesburg and Kampala. In Kampala, they initially hoped to stay for 102 minutes to symbolize TotalEnergies' 102 years of "messy existence" but left after 42mins to avoid arrest.
