Today, CCESI convened a meeting to empower local communities to lead the clean energy transition.

A clean energy shift must center communities to truly mitigate climate change impacts! #CleanEnergyTransition #CommunityEmpowerment #JustEnergyTransition

Wood & charcoal are Uganda's primary cooking fuels, but at what cost? Lost forests, sick lungs, and trapped women. Clean energy alternatives are urgent. #ETP #CleanCooking #Genderaction #cleanenergyforall

OPINION: Africa contributes less than 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet remains among the hardest hit by climate disasters.

In this Op-Ed, environmentalist Patrick Edema explains why the UN endorsement of the ICJ climate ruling could become a powerful legal tool for Africa’s fight for climate justice.

🌍💧 On this #WorldWaterDay, we shine a spotlight on women and girls in communities impacted by oil and mining activities. 💪👩‍👧‍👧

What the 2025 Auditor General’s report mean for women & youths in the mining sector.

At CCESI, we don’t just read reports; we translate them into action for our communities.

We have analyzed the latest A.G report & here is the community lens view of the findings. #JustEnergy

A Just Energy Transition requires justice at the source. On #IWD2026, we demand the removal of systemic barriers for women in the minerals sector. From the mine to the boardroom, women's leadership is non-negotiable for a truly sustainable future. #Mining #WomenInMining

[Community Climate & Energy Shield Initiative @ClimateShi71041]

This #WorldWildlifeDay2026, we celebrate women redefining value beyond profit, toward protecting our planet. 🌍🦏

At CCESI, we’ve seen how #women lead conservation with a legacy mindset, nurturing nature for their children and communities.💚

These banks👉@SocieteGenerale, @HSBC, @jpmorgan, among others, publicly "rejected" the controversial #EACOP project but are now facilitating a €1.5B bond for @TotalEnergies, effectively keeping the project alive. Were their statements on #EACOP just PR technicalities? #StopEACOP

Breaking! 💔💔 The oil refinery case has been postponed. New court date set for May 21, 2026. 🗓️

[Community Climate & Energy Shield Initiative @ClimateShi71041]

Today, Feb 24, 2026, Communities affected by the oil refinery are taking their fight to court, demanding fair compensation for the damages they’ve endured. Justice for our communities! #EnvironmentalJustice #Communityrights #faircompensation

It was a productive day in Hoima! We participated in a training for CSOs representatives on how to effectively monitor and document Busika and Human Rights issues in oil affected regions. Strengthening civil society for better accountability. #Humanrights #Hooma #CSOtrianining

As COP30 discussions are ongoing, communities are calling for climate justice, community-led renewable energy solutions and total phasing out of fossil fuels @globalgreengrants @Oakfoindation

Energy Transition isn't something only the government must provide. 🏡☀️
In our new piece, we argue that it can be built by communities taking lead on clean energy access into their own hands.

Communities aren't just places where energy transition happens, they are the engine driving it. From firewood to clean energy. Real change is built from the ground up. When communities lead, the transition is fast, fair & unstoppable. #EnergyTransition #CommunityPower #CleanEnrgy

[Community Climate & Energy Shield Initiative @ClimateShi71041]

Communities are key players in the charcoal economy. Their dependence on it for livelihoods & energy is really. Shifting to clean alternatives means investing in local solutions & green jobs. Without this, our 2030 zero-emission goals will remain out of reach. #JustTransition

The fight against gas expansion in the Global South is alive and loud at #COP30.

Don't Gas Africa!
Don't Gas Asia!
Don't Gas Latin America!
Don't Gas the Global South!

[LAUDATO SI’ MOVEMENT - Africa @LSM_Africa]

We stand for the injustices happening across Africa and the injustices of our common home!

As COP30 processes are ongoing, communities are calling on the Global North to priority climate finance, renewable energy and just energy transition to Africa @GreenFaith_Afr @UAFAfrica @eji_org @bibothends @naturaljustice

[GreenFaith Africa @GreenFaith_Afr]

Do not let fossil fuel companies buy your silence.

Do not let anyone use your faith to sanitize destruction.

Divide and rule only succeeds if communities allow it
