The Economic Justice Network (EJN) of the Fellowship of Christian Councils in Southern Africa (FOCCISA) together with the Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) in partnership with the South African Faith Communities Environmental Institute (SAFCEI) organised the Post-Copenhagen Climate Justice Conference in Johannesburg (5th–6th May 2010). The conference was attended by representatives of FOCCISA national Christian councils (NCCs), PACJA members, SAFCEI members, environmental journalists, funding organisations and other climate change activists. The delegates created a statement opposing the construction of coal-fired power stations in Africa. Read more to see the statement.
The objectives of the conference were to:
- To examine and assess what happened in Copenhagen and the Bali Roadmap, to seek whether a legally-binding agreement is still possible after the experiences of COP15
- To develop a common southern African lobbying and advocacy strategy for climate justice
- To update one another on national and regional activities to find synergies
- Deepen the theological reflection on climate justice and examine how the churches can be involved at a local level
