350 Africa Johannesberg

General information

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.
