Faith groups must sustain the “momentum” in the fight against fossil fuels, as they play a crucial role in advocating for a moral and just response to the climate crisis, a Kenyan Catholic environmentalist has said.
Catholic environmentalists in Africa under their umbrella body, Laudato Si' Movement - Africa, are advocating for the halting of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline Project (EACOP).
Members of Laudato Si' Movement - Africa are creating awareness on the dangers of fossil fuel on the continent in an initiative that also seeks to halt the East African Crude Oil Pipeline Project (EACOP) – the Uganda-Tanzania initiative that was confirmed in April 2016 as a 1,443km pipeline project to transport oil produced from Uganda’s Lake Albert oilfields to the port of Tanga in Tanzania to be sold to world markets.
