"Zaki Mamdoo, StopEACOP Campaign Coordinator, said banks were seeking reputational protection while maintaining financial relationships that sustain fossil fuel expansion." #StopEACOP!

“This case matters because it asks whether TotalEnergies can keep expanding oil and gas with no consequences,” #StopEACOP!

🚨 Today, TotalEnergies raised €1.5 bn thanks to @societegenerale.com, HSBC, Intesa Sanpaolo, BBVA, J.P. Morgan, and Mizuho. By issuing this bond, these banks enable the oil & gas giant to develop new fossil fuel projects like EACOP, Mozambique LNG, and Papua LNG. 📣 This support must stop.

These banks 👉 Societe Generale, HSBC, Intesa Sanpaolo, J.P. Morgan, among others, publicly "rejected" the controversial #EACOP project but are now facilitating a €1.5B bond for #TotalEnergies, effectively keeping the project alive. Were their statements on #EACOP just PR technicalities? #StopEACOP

Today is the first of two decisive hearings in the French climate case against TotalEnergies! A coalition of French cities & NGOs, including @notreaffaireatous.bsky.social & @asso-sherpa.bsky.social, is asking judges to demand the carbon major reduce its fossil fuel production.

⚡⚖️ Continuation (and end) of historic #climatelitigation hearing at Paris Judicial Court this afternoon in historic case against TotalEnergies. 👀 🧵 Follow in thread below for blow-by-blow reporting in English. 🧵 🇫🇷 See also here in French via @notreaffaireatous.bsky.social: bsky.app/profile/notr...

“For the first time in France, judges will be asked to decide whether an oil and gas multinational can be legally compelled to reduce fossil fuel production, not merely disclose risks or set voluntary targets." #StopEACOP! shorturl.at/QIh90

🚨 Breaking: TotalEnergies faces a major climate trial at the Paris Court of Justice. The case will determine whether Total can be legally forced to cut its GHG emissions & its #fossilfuel expansion Communities are already feeling the impacts of its controversial #EACOP project. Our press release ⬇️

TotalEnergies last week issued bonds totalling $3.5 billion - money that it can use for fossil fuel expansion projects like the EACOP, Mozambique LNG, and Papua LNG. It was supported by Bank of America, BPCE/Natixis, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, MUFG, SMBC and Standard Chartered.

We’re entering this year with a message: the planet will not thrive under the same financial systems that are driving its destruction. We’ll keep confronting the drivers of environmental harm, strengthen relationships with frontline communities, & advocating for human rights. https://bit.ly/3Ma1wAI

118,000+ people displaced, protected areas threatened, because of the controversial #EACOP. As the world marks #CleanEnergyDay, here's a reminder of the consequences of choosing the wrong path. You can interact with the EACOP map here: eacopmap.org

A new investigation reveals how big oil's appetite for profits is destroying Oman's protected nature reserves. TotalEnergies claims the impact is theoretical. Sound familiar? Murchison Falls, anyone? #StopEACOP #NoNewFossilFuels daraj.media/en/ecocide-i...

"The United States is not dependent on fossil fuels at all, but U.S. oil companies are. We don’t have to have that same agenda.” Investigative journalist @antoniajuhasz.bsky.social unpacks the relationship between Venezuela, oil, and the industry's climate lies with @emdashsanders.bsky.social.

We love football, but accountability is non-negotiable. #AFCON #StopEACOP!

The decision to exclude TotalEnergies from its portfolio over climate and human rights concerns was not the result of our campaign pressure. It's what responsibility looks like when businesses take risks seriously. #StopEACOP!

The African Cup of Nations (AFCON) kicked off on 21st Dec AFCON, like most sports, unites people. It's a shame #TotalEnergies, which is building destructive #fossilfuels like the controversial #EACOP across the continent, harming people & sowing disunity, is using this event to clean up its image.

The largest Swedish pension fund by assets under management excluded #TotalEnergies & 35 others from its investments last week. AP7 - which manages over $130 billion in retirement savings - made the decision based on climate risks and human rights concerns. #StopEACOP nordsip.com/2025/12/10/a....

Bakundane told Mongabay the judges never took into consideration the damage caused by EACOP. “They have been excavating everywhere, and the floods that are running from these cuttings are destroying our farmlands, destroying our water bodies.” #StopEACOP! news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

READ: "But a court's refusal to hear the truth doesn't change the truth. EACOP still threatens millions of people. It still violates human rights obligations." #StopEACOP

This is why we said, #EACJCourt ruling notwithstanding, the controversial #EACOP project, like the Mozambique LNG, remains risky. Those funding it, like South Africa's #StandardBank, must know they're complicit even if they pretend ignorance of the reality on the ground. #StopEACOP shorturl.at/nKtjN

#EACJ dismissed the #EACOP case on a technicality, refusing to hear the evidence of harm faced by impacted communities This is a blow. But the land grabs, pollution risks, and human rights violations have not disappeared & our resistance doesn't end in courtrooms. Read our blog shorturl.at/C21fV

Yesterday, we called attention to the widening climate ambition, finance, & justice gaps blocking real climate progress! We need to add the fossil fuel phase-out roadmap to the #COP30 agreement, now. Samuel Okulony, Environment Governance Institute Uganda & @stopeacop.bsky.social

Yesterday, we joined @fossiladbansa.bsky.social and @powershiftafrica.bsky.social, among others & marched to #TotalEnergies' offices in JHB to express our frustration with their century of abuse. We're thankful for the litigation work @amisdelaterre.org & others are doing to make Total accountable.

China’s getting strong coverage at #COP30 for climate leadership. But regional reports say Chinese institutions may fund #EACOP after global banks avoided it over environment & human rights risks. That’s a real credibility test. Our partner in Belém calls on China to walk the talk. #StopEACOP!

Fossil fuels are the #1 reason COPs exist, and the #1 thing we need to get rid of in order to save countless lives and prevent the worst of climate disaster. Now, for the first time, a real roadmap for transitioning away from oil and gas is gaining support at COP30!

Ugandan climate activists Patience and Hilda insist that polluters must pay. They cite a report by @oxfaminternational.bsky.social about how the richest 1% plunder & pollute the planet to the point of destruction, leaving humanity choking on extreme heat, floods & drought. #COP30 must deliver!

We ended week one of #COP30 with our members participating in the People’s March for Climate to demand urgent climate action & an end to fossil-fuel dependency. Sam Okulony (EGI-Uganda) called out major polluters, including #TotalEnergies, which is building the controversial #EACOP.

“Another Cop, same playbook. This is corporate capture, not climate governance,” said Lien Vandamme, senior campaigner on human rights and climate change at the @ciel.org #COP30 #StopEACOP! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all #COP30 delegations except Brazil, report says - One in every 25 participants at 2025 UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist, according to Kick Big Polluters Out www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This was Alessandra Korap Munduruku this morning. She lives in the Brazilian state where COP is taking place this year! She was not given a pass into the Blue Zone. These are the voices you should be listening to, boosting, and celebrating. Not the politicians who are attending #COP30!

Yesterday, @unclebrighton.bsky.social brought the voices of those on the frontlines of the #EACOP fight from Lake Albert to the Amazon. He reminded the world of the 12 activists still in jail for protesting Stanbic Bank Uganda's involvement in the controversial project. #StopEACOP!

Same thing at COP29. The Guardian reported Azerbaijan’s deputy energy minister & chief executive of COP29 was caught on film agreeing to facilitate oil deals at the negotiations. #COP30's supposed to be the implementation COP - how should we interpret their presence knowing their record? #StopEACOP!

In Belém, police repressed Indigenous delegations who were trying to enter the COP’s blue zone to present their demands. They wanted what is rightfully theirs: real participation, a voice, and a vote in the negotiations that decide the future of their territory. Thread...

If #COP30 is the COP of Truth, it must end fossil fuels. #StopEACOP activists will join Brazilian and international civil society in a powerful ritual and collective call for justice. We stand together to tell governments NO MORE HYPOCRISY. NO MORE FOSSIL FUELS!📍2:30-3pm Belém, Brazil

Our Campaign Coordinator, Zaki Mamdoo, shares a solidarity message to partners in Belem and reminds us that the real work goes beyond #COP30 and negotiations. Real work is in our communities, building consciousness and agency. #StopEACOP youtu.be/r371YMsKKTU?... via @YouTube

New climate pledges mean there will be escalating damage to all nations and the poor and vulnerable will be hardest hit. Every fraction of a degree of #GlobalHeating avoided reduces the risks, but much more needs to be done - soon. www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

The #EACOP project's total cost has risen to $5.6 billion from the initial $3.5 billion. TotalEnergies is now forced to self-finance nearly 90% ($4.8 billion) because banks are avoiding this controversial project. Read our statement: static1.squarespace.com/static/5fc07...

New research for the Briefing shows the project companies, Total and CNOOC, have been forced to lend money to their own project. The project sponsors are self-financing almost 90% of the #EACOP in the face of large scale rejection from the banking sector. www.banktrack.org/article/tota...
