"We are not going to be left behind. We will continue touring across villages and cities enlightening communities about the impacts of coal."
— Khadija Shekuwe Save Lamu coordinator.
On May 24 and 25, we took actions in cities and towns across the continent for Africa Day to show the determination of the People of Africa to free themselves from foreign domination and exploitation. We demanded that our local leaders commit to building a fossil free Africa that puts people and justice before profits.
Our fight against fossil fuels is a pathway to a united African continent that seeks solutions beyond the tried and tested that’s proven to be destructive. The time for clean energy is now.

we’re mobilising across Africa to #BreakFree from fossil fuels and push for a renewable
We don’t need another coal power plant in South Africa, we know that burning more coal will only lead to catastrophic climate impacts.
Communities from Lamu and Kitui together with Greenpeace Africa and members of the deCOALonize coalition have today handed over letters to the Ministry of Energy and the Chinese Embassy. The letters are calling on the Cabinet secretary, Hon. Charles Keter and Chinese corporations to stop investing in Lamu and Kitui coal projects and instead invest in renewable energy.
New report says that Kenya doesn’t need any coal generation project, but should rather actively explore its abundant renewable resources to satisfy the likely growth scenarios.
Last week, we’ve shown that the #AfrikaVuka movement is stronger and more diverse than ever before.
Today, people across Africa are calling for climate justice and the end of fossil fuel investments. More actions to come tomorrow!
