0:08
change and the environment present at

the conference of parties cop 27 taking
0:12
place in Shamel Sheikh Egypt have issued
0:15
a seven-point statement of demand to oil
0:17
companies investors and governments to
0:19
pay communities for the disfoliation and
0:21
environmental pollution of their
0:22
exploration actions have exacted on host

African Network for environment and
0:31
economic Justice Anya who read The Joint
0:34
statement on behalf of the ngos said
0:36
that the Niger Delta Region and other
0:37
areas where fossil fuel extraction is
0:40
taking place are highly polluted today
0:42
thanks to the operations of shell and
0:44
other multinational oil companies
0:46
leaving the people of the region with
0:47
little more than sorrow tears and blood
0:50
tracing the history behind how the
0:52
activities of the oil companies and
0:54
multinationals have negatively impacted
0:56
on host communities the CSO statement
0:59
revealed that in the mid-1990s the
1:01
movement for the survival of the ugoni
1:03
people led by cancerawiwa declared that
1:05
shell was no longer welcome to operate
1:08
in ogoni land Nigeria
1:10
the movement argued that others had
1:12
grown rich on the oil while pollution
1:14
from spills and gas flaring had led to
1:16
the complete degradation of the ogoni
1:18
environment
1:19
the CSO statement said that around the
1:22
world there is clear evidence of
1:23
irreversible damage to the planet the
1:26
loss of homelands and the people's
1:27
livelihood sources cultures ecosystems
1:30
and more
1:31
and it is the communities around the
1:33
world that have contributed the very
1:35
least to climate change that are paying
1:36
the highest price
1:38
in the last few weeks 33 million people
1:41
were forced by floods to flee their
1:42
homes in Pakistan damage that will cost
1:45
Pakistan 15 billion U.S dollars
1:47
according to World Bank estimates
1:49
ravaging floods also rendered millions
1:51
of people across several States in
1:53
Nigeria homeless damaging properties
1:55
worth billions of dollars in sharp
1:58
contrast shell has already made 30
2:00
billion U.S dollars in profits this year
2:02
and agreed to pay out 18.5 billion US
2:05
dollars to its investors the top seven
2:08
Global oil companies have made 150
2:11
billion U.S dollars in profits this year
2:14
for far too long big investors have
2:16
profited from Big Oil allowing shell and
2:19
other companies to issue misleading
2:20
marketing statements while they use
2:22
their influence to dilute And Delay
2:24
government action to resolve the
2:25
accelerating climate and human rights
2:27
emergencies in 2011 a Dutch court
2:30
ordered shell to reduce its emissions
2:32
drastically this decade to protect human
2:34
rights yet Shell's investors allowed
2:37
shell to defy and appeal the Court
2:39
ruling
2:40
the people's AGM platform established in
2:43
May 2022 in Lagos Nigeria by leaders of

2:51
organizations human rights groups
2:53
students youths and Artisans agreed
2:55
specific recommendations for oil
2:57
companies and their investors
2:59

3:03
make significant changes on their own
3:06
