COP 29 | Europe’s Dash for Gas in Africa puts Private Profits Before African Countries’ Interests

Europe's demand for gas is contributing to a wave of liquid natural gas (LNG) projects in Mozambique, Nigeria, and Senegal.

Experts will set out the risks of banking on LNG for development and call on European leaders to support a more sustainable model.
