The early effects of global climate breakdown, from the devastating Northern Cape drought to Cyclone Idai, are hitting South Africa.

The Global Climate Divest-Invest Summit is coming to Cape Town in September 2019!

Under the banner of the African Climate Alliance, Capetonian school children protested on Friday 14th June, ahead of Youth Day, asking adults and leaders to take steps to protect their future from climate and ecological breakdown.

We've just published an article on the Daily Maverick explaining how non-profits can multiply their impacts…

The Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global, which is part of the world's largest sovereign wealth fund managing $tn in assets, has dropped $13 billion in fossil fuel investments, the largest single divestment to date.

The first climate risk-related resolution tabled at Standard Bank’s AGM on Thursday failed to pass when 61% of shareholders voted against it.

Even Eskom's outgoing CEO, Phakamani Hadebe, has observed that “every year, fewer investors are willing to fund fossil fuel”.

We're so used to fossil fuels, we can't imagine that a better world awaits us without them.

Challenge your financial services provider by asking them for alternatives! Remember, there’s no need to be defensive about this request.

Fossil Free South Africa co-ordinator David Le Page, was invited to be interviewed on news channel eNCA to discuss fossil fuel divestment in South Africa.

As you know, our biggest petition and campaign calls on SA's top asset managers to give you the option of not investing in planet-killing companies like Sasol.

Climate change and the risks associated with it should be a key part of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s state of the nation address. How SA chooses to respond to climate change and its impact on the country will affect economic growth and social development for decades to come, yet climate change remains sidelined by the government and key sectors that are most vulnerable to its effects.

It's often difficult to know what news sources to trust on climate change, given the vast amount of disinformation out there. So we've worked to put together a summary of reliable sources.

Fossil Free SA has for some time been running a petition campaignon social media and on the ground to persuade SA's top asset managers and owners – Allan Gray, Coronation, Investec, Old Mutual, Sanlam and the Government Employees' Pension Fund –  to offer fossil fuel-free funds.

Our accumulated headline research from September.

Today was a big milestone for us, as we took out ads on p. 1 and p. 3 of Business Day, marking the achievement of over 2,000 signatures on our petition calling for SA's top asset managers and owners to give savers ways to invest for the climate-friendly, fossil fuel-free future we want.
