“EACOP Pipeline: A Disaster for You and Me “
On top of evicting over 12,000 people,The EACOP pipeline is projected to emit 34 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, 30 times the annual emissions of Uganda and Tanzania combined. Additionally, it will require heating to transport the oil, which will further contribute to global heating and climate change. The project will cause significant environmental degradation, with Uganda already losing 70,000 hectares of tree cover annually and 4,000 hectares of primary forest. The pipeline will exacerbate this problem. Moreover, the EACOP on the Tanzanian coast will be built in a high tsunami-risk zone, endangering protected marine areas. The project’s impacts on the environment and people’s livelihoods cannot be ignored, and urgent action is needed to stop it.
