Experts: Europe plotting to sneak fossil fuels into the COP27 agenda

Experts alleged a plot to sneak fossil fuels into the 2022 UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) agenda, ahead of Africa Energy Week commemorations held in Cape Town.

Last month, the world welcomed the first global fuel registry, which was developed by Carbon Tracker and Global Energy Monitor.

... Dean Bhekumuzi Bhebhe, the Campaigns Lead for Power Shift Africa, which is based in Nairobi, describes the plan as “neo-colonialism” while terming it dangerous.

“Collusion by European and African energy elites to continue colonising the continent with dirty energy infrastructure will saddle Africa with dangerous projects that it doesn’t need, entrench the energy apartheid facing millions of Africans, and risk tipping Africa and the world into catastrophic climate disruption,” he said.
