The Africa Just Transition Network (AJTN) officially launched the NO NEW COAL AFRICA campaign on the opening day of the Niger Delta Climate Week, according to a statement from the organization. The campaign, themed 'Our Right to Life. Our Right to a Healthy Future,' calls for an end to new coal projects across the continent.
AJTN, a coalition of civil society groups, emphasizes a just transition to renewable energy, protecting communities and workers. The Niger Delta Climate Week, held in Nigeria's oil-rich region, focuses on climate impacts and solutions.
Verified details on specific events or attendance were not available from web searches as of July 15, 2026. The campaign aligns with global efforts to phase out coal, though Africa's energy needs remain a point of debate.
