EJF grantees
EJF supports 35 community-based organisations (CBOs) on the frontlines of the fight to defend our planet, respond to the climate crisis and uphold environmental rights. Together they are developing solutions to some of the most acute environmental justice challenges in South Africa today, including environmentally harmful and exclusionary mining practices, energy insecurity, the gendered impact of dwindling fishing stocks due to offshore mining, the need for reforestation to address poor air quality in concentrated industrial zones, threats to human rights defenders, agro-ecology and food sovereignty, water crisis in big urban areas, and the importance of better solid waste management in informal settlements. The tab and the map below showcases a glimpse of this work, where the organisations are located, and ways to connect with them.
