Life After Coal (Impilo Ngaphandle Kwamalahle) is a joint campaign by Earthlife Africa, groundWork, and the Centre for Environmental Rights.
We aim to discourage the development of fossil fuel developments; reduce emissions from existing coal infrastructure and encourage a coal phase-out; and enable a just transition from fossil fuels, to a society based on clean, just, renewable energy and social justice.
