In a significant development, South Africa’s first youth-led climate change case, the #CancelCoal campaign, has taken a new turn with the inclusion of the Minister of Electricity. The case challenges the government’s decision to procure 1500 MW of new coal-fired power, highlighting the adverse climate impacts of burning coal and its implications for constitutional rights.

It is encouraging to see young people taking action on climate change and holding government officials accountable for their actions. The fact that the Minister of Electricity is being joined in this climate case shows that there is a growing awareness and urgency around the need to address the climate crisis.

Climate change is indeed real and the South African govt needs to come under heavy pressure and criticism for allowing any coal fired projects to continue.

The European Parliament's call for the negotiation of a Fossil Fuel Treaty in its formal COP28 position reflects a strong commitment to addressing climate change. The resolution emphasizes the urgent need to end fossil fuel use, cease new investments in fossil fuels, and significantly increase the reliance on renewable energy. Notably, the Parliament's stance differs from the European Council's position by avoiding loopholes and advocating for a comprehensive exit from all fossil fuels.
