Difficult to conceive of a more dangerous project at a more perilous moment for the planet than EACOP

4 March 2021 7:49 GMT Updated 4 March 2021 9:49 GMT in London Hundreds of civil society organisations have called on banks not to fund the $3.5 billion to $4 billion East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) because of the threats it poses to local communities, water supplies and biodiversity. In an open letter published this week, organisations from 49 countries including 122 based in Africa called on banks not to participate in loans to fund construction of what will be the world’s longest heated pipeline. The StopEACOP alliance also warned the pipeline will fuel climate change by transporting oil that, it estimates, will generate over 34 million tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
