Description/notes

The Climate Justice Coalition (CJC) is a South African coalition of trade unions, civil society, grassroots, and community-based organisations. Together we are taking on the climate crisis by advancing a transformative climate justice agenda, which works to overcome the deep inequality, poverty and multiple injustices that South Africa faces. As a coalition, we aim to advance the struggle for climate justice using a combination of movement building, education, sustained organising, campaigning, advocacy and litigation.

To ensure the kind of social transformation we imagine will require a strong, vibrant, and diverse movement. Recognising that the climate crisis is interconnected with many struggles, the CJC intentionally works towards realising an intersectional climate justice agenda which advances environmental, energy, youth, gender, racial, immigrant, social and economic justice together. Our work aims to have a strong focus on working together with workers, unions, and mining impacted and frontline communities to advance a decolonial vision of climate justice.
