气候维权组织绿色和平非洲分部（Greenpeace Africa）呼吁叫停非洲首富Aliko Dangote计划在肯尼亚沿海地区建设的大型炼油厂项目，并警告该项目存在环境风险。\n\n本月早些时候，这座规划日产能达7万桶（注：原文700,000 barrels为70万桶，此处按原文翻译）的东非炼油厂被确认将落户肯尼亚拉姆港（Lamu port），从而结束了长达数月关于该项目可能落户坦桑尼亚的猜测。\n\n绿色和平非洲分部石油和天然气项目活动人士Sherelee Odayar在声明中表示：“该项目不仅威胁要破坏东非最脆弱的海岸生态系统之一，还把肯尼亚锁死在充满风险的化石燃料未来中。”\n\n该组织表示，这座预计耗时约30个月建设的炼油厂将导致栖息地破坏、海洋退化、漏油风险以及危险的空气污染。\n\n该非政府组织表示：“拉姆的红树林、珊瑚礁和海草床不是可以牺牲的。它们支撑着渔业、生计和海岸保护。”\n\n绿色和平非洲分部呼吁暂停这一耗资170亿美元的项目，在获得任何批准之前进行独立的 ambientales（注：此处原文为environmental）环境评估。\n\nOdayar表示：“在进行全面且独立的社会环境影响评估、真正的公众参与，以及对长期经济、健康和生态风险进行透明审查之前，不应推进任何审批。”

原文原文 / Original Text

Climate rights group Greenpeace Africa called for a halt to a proposed mega oil refinery project by Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, in Kenya's coastal region, warning of environmental risks.

The east African oil refinery, with a planned capacity of 700,000 barrels per day, was confirmed earlier this month to be located at Kenya's Lamu port, ending months of speculation that Tanzania could host the project.

"This project threatens to damage one of East Africa's most fragile coastal ecosystems while locking Kenya into a risky fossil fuel future," Sherelee Odayar, Greenpeace Africa Oil and Gas campaigner, said in a statement.

The group said the oil refinery, which is expected to take about 30 months to build, will lead to "habitat destruction, marine degradation, oil spill risk and dangerous air pollution".

"Lamu's mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass beds are not expendable. They support fisheries, livelihoods and coastal protection," the NGO said.

Greenpeace Africa called for the $17-billion project to be suspended pending an independent environmental assessment before any approvals are granted.

"No approvals should move forward without a full, independent environmental and social impact assessment, genuine public participation and transparent scrutiny of the long-term economic, health and ecological risks," Odayar said.
