As COP30 begins, do you rememeber what you were doing on this fateful day of 10 November in 1995 when Ken Saro-Wiwa and 8 Ogonis were hanged for their nonviolent campaing against the oil company Shell - for defending their most basic rights?

Fossil fuels drive climate change, they also damage human health, destabilize communities, and put our future at risk - from cradle to grave. Every organ, every body: https://t.co/E5wpSVVxT2... #CradleToGrave #HealthNotFossilFuels #JustTransition #PublicHealth #ClimateAction

17 Sept: Civil society organisations welcomed the Supreme Court of Appeal ruling - it denied Eskom authorisation to build a 3000MW gas-to-power plant in Richards Bay. SDCEA & groundWork hail the judgement a victory for affected communities who weren't adequately consulted.

[Africa Climate Justice Collective (ACJC) @AfricanCJGroup]

Swapping fossil fuels for renewables means nothing if land is grabbed, workers are abandoned, & communities are excluded in the process. Just transition must be implemented on the basis of sound #EnvironmentalJustice principles. #JustTransition
