The Climate Justice Coalition is a coalition of South African trade unions, grassroots, community-based and non-profit organisations

Our aim is to pursue a transformative climate justice agenda that advances social, economic, and environmental justice for all, especially communities living at the intersections of multiple oppression and injustice.

Who We Are

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.

How We Work

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. As a national coalition, we meet via Zoom to connect across the country, but we also organise workshops, in-person meetings, protests and more.

Our Campaigns

CJC In The Media

Human Rights Day, we honor those who've dedicated themselves to justice. Let's remember those who lost their lives 64 years ago.

Elie Wiesel said, “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” #Activism

Yesterday #PeoplePower marches happened across SA! In Soweto, we stood alongside dedicated activists from @CJCoalition @GautengXR @350Africa and community organisations, marching to the Diepkloof Eskom building. The energy was electric as voices united for change.

@Malik_dasoo from @GautengXR said, "We are pumping more into coal than we have in history, yet we are getting less and less. We need to change course."

Together, we can make a difference. 💚🌍

We stand w/ @CJCoalition to call on @GovernmentZA to honour its constitutional duty by providing essential services - water, sanitation & clean, affordable electricity - to everyone without access.
