Climate and Energy Justice Campaign

The Climate and Energy Justice Campaign focuses on a just energy transition from a dirty, fossil fuel based energy system to one that means clean and accessible electricity, owned by people. groundWork works with community groups to analyse and understand the impacts of South Africa’s dirty energy regime from the giant coal-fired power stations and the intensive industrial users to the homes of people who have limited or no access to electricity and who consequently burn dirty fuels indoors. Under the title of energy sovereignty, the campaign will explore democratic, sustainable and fair alternatives to the elite energy system.
