Stories of resistanceCall to actionPick a targetHost an action
The communities of San Foca and Melendugno in southern Italy are resisting a gas mega-pipeline on their land — the Trans Adriatic Pipeline — which would bring gas from Azerbaijan to Europe.
In Puglia, local mothers, teachers, health workers, grandparents and olive farmers have been leading a peaceful and determined resistance to protect their land and their community from TAP, despite facing a violent response by the police and individual fines of up to €10,000. The area where the pipeline and gas receiving terminal is due to be built is home to local olive farms, aquifers, pristine forest and stunning coastline.
Take action in solidarity with the communities affected by the Trans Adriatic Pipeline.
While not everyone can be in Italy on the front line of the resistance, the banks whose finance will make TAP and other new fossil fuel projects possible can be found in communities all across Europe. It’s time to disrupt the biggest and most expensive new fossil fuel projects in Europe where they are weak: by cutting off the finance.
TAP, like other major fossil fuel projects, cannot go ahead without the backing of banks. By acting together, we can help to toxify investments in TAP and new fossil fuels.
From the international Divest the Globe days of action to recent #noTAP actions across Europe targetting the EIB and EBRD, we’ve been inspired by the creativity and solidarity shown by the growing movement to defund fossil fuels.
