Event #1: Climate change, women's health and the fossil fuel influence - webinar
Climate change is putting women’s health at serious risk, especially in Africa. From respiratory issues and pregnancy complications to the increased dangers faced by displaced women, the impacts are profound. Join us for a powerful webinar where we’ll explore these health challenges, the driving role of the fossil fuel industry, and how their advertising tactics perpetuate harm. Learn how disrupting these narratives can accelerate a just and sustainable future for all.

Event #2: Picnic & Unpack: Exposing Greenwashing during SANParks Week
SANParks Week offers South Africans free access to our national parks, but what are the hidden costs of this "free" entry?
Join us for a “Picnic and Unpack” session where we'll dive into how fossil fuel companies like TotalEnergies use sponsorships to paint themselves as environmental stewards, distracting us from their harmful impact on people and planet.
📆 Date: Saturday, 14th of September 2024
⏰ Time: 10h00-13h00
📍 Meeting point: start of the Pipe Track Trail, opposite the bottom of the Kloof Nek parking lot
Enjoy a relaxed picnic setting while we connect, share insights, and challenge the narratives that allow big polluters to escape accountability.
