Our Climate Justice Programme advances equitable, rights-based climate action across Africa. We work at the intersection of climate change, human rights, and accountable business conduct to ensure that those least responsible for the climate crisis are not the ones who bear its greatest burdens. Climate change is not only an environmental issue — it is a justice issue. Across Africa, vulnerable communities face rising temperatures, droughts, floods, displacement, food insecurity, and loss of livelihoods. Women, youth, indigenous peoples, and marginalized groups are disproportionately affected, yet often excluded from decision-making processes.
We believe climate solutions must be fair, inclusive, and grounded in human dignity.
