Hello John,
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is a heated oil pipeline currently under construction. Once completed, it will stretch for almost 1,443 kilometres across Tanzania and Uganda – making it the longest heated crude oil pipeline in the world.[1]
The pipeline will disturb sensitive ecosystems including the Lake Victoria basin, a vital water supply supporting 40 million people and its ongoing construction has already displaced thousands of people in villages in Uganda.
This is just one of many 'carbon-bomb' projects that need to be stopped and the insurance industry might just be the key![2]
Campaigning by XR and other organisations has led to dozens of banks and insurers ruling out support for EACOP.[3]
Join a Zoom call to hear how XR’s Insure Our Survival campaign will help keep the pressure up. If you can't make these times - please still register to receive a recording and more info in a follow up email.
