350 Africa

350 Africa 350 Africa is building an African movement to fight climate change. Join us! Africa will be hardest hit by the impacts of climate change.

Already many Africans are fighting to survive increases in drought, floods and extreme weather caused by rising global temperatures. Burning fossil fuels and intensive agriculture release CO2 and other Green House Gases, which the vast majority of climate scientists agree is causing global warming. We are campaigning to keep coal in the ground and for governments to choose clean solar and wind. The African climate movement is growing fast and is made up of countless citizens taking extraordinary actions. From students to scientists, we stand together with the farmers, fishers and communities already fighting to survive climate change every day. And we are part of a global movement whose online campaigns, grassroots organising, and mass public actions are led from the bottom up by people in 188 countries.

The future of African energy isn’t happening in centralized power plants, it’s happening right in our communities.

The campaign is about placing clean, reliable, decentralized renewable energy directly into the hands of the people. No more waiting for the grid. No more blackouts holding our potential back.

Behind South Africa’s electricity crisis are real people struggling to make ends meet.

Our voices matter. Our needs matter.

It’s time to demand an energy system that puts access, affordability and people’s basic need for electricity first.

Live from Mombasa, Kenya | Day 1 of the African Symposium on Climate Reparations

Our team joined civil society leaders, grassroots advocates, and indigenous communities to unpack what true decolonial climate reparative justice must look like for those on the frontlines of climate harm.

Participating in discussions on legal frameworks, state obligations, and human rights, we analyzed the ICJ Advisory Opinion on state climate duties. Our key contribution and call to action:
1. Make Polluters Pay: We cannot talk about climate reparations without holding fossil fuel corporations accountable for the loss and damage they inflict on African communities and ecosystems.
2, Inclusive Jurisprudence: Who decides what counts as legal knowledge? Indigenous voices and shadow reports documenting climate harms must lead climate litigation and negotiation spaces.
3. Reparations beyond cash: Climate reparations cannot be limited to financial payouts; they must center land restitution, rehabilitation of cultural heritage, and the full restoration of dignity as defined by affected communities themselves.

For far too long, conversations about global climate action have been shaped elsewhere and delivered to Africa as an afterthought.

Platforms like the African Symposium on Climate Reparations are important step up as the architects of this global movement.

We aren’t waiting for external solutions, we are actively designing the systems, mechanisms, and legal structures required to enforce accountability, secure loss & damage financing, and deliver true climate justice on our own terms.

African expertise, vision, and leadership are leading the way.

For far too long, conversations about global climate action have been shaped elsewhere and delivered to Africa as an afterthought.

Which is why platforms like the African Symposium on Climate Reparations are a crucial step up to building on this global movement.

We aren’t waiting for external solutions, we are actively designing the systems, mechanisms, and legal structures required to enforce accountability, secure loss & damage financing, and deliver true climate justice on our own terms.

Only 16%.

Minister Ramokgopa says the current Free Basic Electricity allocation could support around 2.5 million households, but only about 400,000 are receiving it.

That means 84% of households are still missing out.

As South Africa reviews its electricity pricing policy, transparency matters. But as Ferron Pedro of 350.org South Africa says, electricity policy must ultimately ensure people can access the basic electricity they need to live with dignity.
