Tyson Miller, Director of Earth Insight unpacks the escalating threats of oil and gas expansion in the Amazon and Congo Basin regions. 
Drawing from the Earth Insight's reports "<a href="https://www.earth-insight.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Congo-in-the-Crosshairs-November-2022-English-Report-small.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Congo in the Crosshairs: New Oil & Gas Expansion Threats to Forests and Communities</a>" "<a href="https://www.earth-insight.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Crisis-Point-Oil-and-Gas-Expansion-Threats-to-Amazon-and-Congo-Basin-Tropical-Forests-and-Communities-Dec-2022-1sm.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Crisis Point: Oil and Gas Expansion Threats to Amazon and Congo Basin Tropical Forests and Communities</a>" and an <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/10/dash-african-gas-wipe-out-congo-basin-rainforests" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">article</a> from The Guardian, we discovered that Africa's oil and gas territories could quadruple, threatening to wipe out a third of the dense tropical forests and accelerating climate change. One thing is clear: polluting countries must step up to rapidly decarbonize their own economies.
Tyson doesn’t just highlight problems but also offers solutions. From the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty's efforts to halt fuel expansion to the push for banks to champion against fossil fuel projects, Tyson shines a light on pathways to counter these looming threats.
