„EACOP: A crude reality“ puts the spotlight on the negative socio-economic and environmental impacts posed by the planned East African Crude Oil Pipeline. The film features the testimonies of communities directly affected by the Total Energies’ mega project as well as activists raising alarm on the threats posed by the pipeline to livelihoods, sensitive ecosystems and the climate. The pipeline, which will run from Hoima in Uganda to Tanga in Tanzania has been the center of controversy globally, following sustained opposition by community members and climate activists.
Climate activists under the Stop EACOP coalition have been unrelenting in calling on financial institutions to distance themselves from the proposed pipeline, resulting in 24 commercial banks and 18 (re)insurers committing to not supporting the project.
Im Anschluss: Anna Lena Buchleitner und Michael Ladurner (Attac) im Gespräch mit Aktivist*innen aus Uganda: Janepher Baitwamasa (Programmkoordinatorin der community-based Organisation Navigators of Development Association, NAVODA), Nicholas Omonuk Okoit (Klimaaktivist und Kolumnist aus Uganda) und Christopher Opio (Teamlead der Grassroots Organisation Oil Refinery Residents Association, ORRA).
Das Gespräch findet in englischer Sprache statt.
