The Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) is a proposed fracked gas pipeline that could run a nearly 400-mile route from West Virginia to Virginia and North Carolina, threatening communities and one of the most diverse temperate forests in the world.

The proposed East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is a 1,443-kilometer pipeline connecting oilfields in western Uganda with the port of Tanga in eastern Tanzania. The project could displace more than 100,000 people. In response, CliDef has supported young climate activists, including university and high school students facing arrests, frivolous criminal charges, detentions, and lawsuits for their work with the #StopEACOP campaign.

CliDef is organizing a legal protection hotline and on-the-ground support during COP28, where activists in Dubai can access urgent legal advice if they find themselves in trouble at the airports, the conference, or in the UAE at-large.
