Climate: Environmentalists challenge oil companies in Cape Town

Environmental activists protested in Cape Town during Africa Energy Week, demanding increased financial contributions from major oil companies like Shell, Total, BP, ExxonMobil, and Woodside to help African countries cope with climate change impacts. Greenpeace Africa called for higher taxes on these companies to fund climate-related damages and adaptation efforts for vulnerable populations. Sherelee Odayar emphasized Africa's lack of financial resources to adapt to extreme weather events and urged governments to impose taxes and fines on oil companies.
