The two organisations have been campaigning for months to denounce the socio-environmental impacts of gas extraction in Mozambique and to demand that Italian public and private financial institutions do not support new projects promoted by ENI.

Currently, through an ActionAid petition, 5,000 people are asking all major Italian banks to stop investing in fossil fuel extraction projects.

‘We are very happy that UniCredit will not be among the financiers of the Coral North FLNG project.

The gas extraction projects in Mozambique’s northern province of Cabo Delgado have contributed to exacerbate a situation already deeply scarred by the ongoing conflict spearheaded by Islamist militias, which has so far claimed more than 4,000 lives and displaced around one million people. [...]
