COP 29 | Europe’s Dash for Gas in Africa puts Private Profits Before African Countries’ Interests
Press Conference
Europe’s demand for gas is contributing to a wave of liquid natural gas (LNG) projects in Mozambique, Nigeria, and Senegal. This favours the interests of European oil and gas companies over those of African countries, research shows. Experts will set out the risks of banking on LNG for development and call on European leaders to support a more sustainable model.
