Last week, representatives from 350 hosted a demonstration to oppose the Vaca Muerta Sur oil pipeline that Argentina’s state-owned oil company, YPF, is planning. Now, the pipeline is just days from being approved.
This dangerous new pipeline would export oil from Vaca Muerta in western Argentina to the San Matías Gulf on the Atlantic coast, and it would have incalculable negative impacts on both the global climate and the gulf ecosystem — not to mention the local communities. We’re already experiencing severe consequences of the climate crisis all over the world, and we can’t afford to be set back even further.
This project will not only put Argentina further behind in the energy transition, it will also endanger countless marine species that make their home in the Argentine Sea and facilitate even more greenhouse gas emissions that are warming our planet. Plus, the locals in the San Matías Gulf area make their living from fishing, a vital source of income, which will be threatened by the pipeline.
Local communities have voiced their opposition to the project loud and clear, and now we need to use our reach to amplify the demand and create the international pressure needed to halt the pipeline.
Climate change is a global issue that is already having dangerous and deadly consequences for each and every one of us, whether in Argentina or right here in the United States. So no matter where a new pipeline is planned, it’s on all of us to speak up and apply the pressure needed to stop it and save our planet and communities.
In solidarity,
Team 350
