Environmental groups file complaint against France’s TotalEnergies over climate impact
Four environmental organisations have started legal action against France’s largest energy company TotalEnergies over the impact of the group’s oil pipeline development in Uganda and other fossil fuel projects.
Darwin Climax Coalitions, Sea Shepherd France, Wild Legal and Stop EACOP-Stop Total en Ouganda said they have filed a complaint with the Nanterre prosecutor’s office over TotalEnergie’s “climaticide action”.
They say the company approved more fossil fuel projects than any other oil major between 2022 and 2025, including the $3.5 billion East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) that will help Uganda export its oil to international markets.
