UGANDAN and Scottish climate activists joined forces today demanding the immediate halt of oil projects in their countries in a rally outside the Cop26 conference centre. 

The joint action called for the shut down of the Cambo oilfield in Scotland and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (Eacop), set to run from Uganda to Tanzania, as well as all new fossil fuel projects across the globe. 

The rally came after campaigners shone projections onto the British government building and JP Morgan Chase in Edinburgh on Wednesday night to draw attention to the two major oil projects as the climate summit draws to a close.
