    #19 Mobilize Newsletter

    This Mandela Month we are confronted by what the experts call the Polycrisis. Intersecting climate, social, and economic collapse pull at us from all directions: xenophobia, climate catastrophe, displacement, war, trash, and the relentless fossil industry. The scale of the work ahead of us requires more than 67 minutes of service. It requires mass movements and a generation of dedication.

    Buzzword Breakdown: Historical Responsibility
    July 3, 2026

    Buzzword Breakdown: Historical Responsibility

    Historical Responsibility for the Climate Crisis A small number of industrialised countries are responsible for a disproportionate share of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the most severe impacts of climate change are felt by countries in the Global South. This imbalance does not stop at national borders, it also exists within societies. The wealthiest individuals are typically the highest emitters, through activities such as frequent private jet travel, luxury yachts, and investments in highly polluting industries. In stark numerical terms, the richest 1% of the global population is responsible for 16% of annual global emissions, the same amount produced by the poorest two-thirds of humanity, around 5 billion people (Oxfam).

    Buzzword Breakdown: Maladaptation

    Buzzword Breakdown: Maladaptation

    Maladaptation occurs when climate responses increase vulnerability, shift risks onto others, or create long-term environmental or social harm. Different types of maladaptation exist such as ‘rebound vulnerability’ which is a situation whereby the vulnerability of the intended target is increased rather than reduced. Maladaptation can also shift vulnerability so that it increases elsewhere or in the future. Eroding sustainable development by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, for example, is a type of maladaptation, too. Learn more: https://climatalk.org/2024/06/02/what-is-maladaptation/

    South Africa’s inequality has a history

    South Africa’s problems are real. Unemployment, crime, inequality, corruption, and failing public services affect millions. But targeting migrants will not solve these problems… they are structural and long-standing. South Africa’s inequality didn’t happen by accident; it was engineered. From the 1913 Natives Land Act to apartheid’s deliberate exclusion of Black people from land, wealth, and opportunity, the crisis we face today is structural. Swipe to understand the history, and join Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia – KAAX to organise for real change.

    How to hold corporations accountable
    April 17, 2026

    How to hold corporations accountable

    Holding corporations accountable for the climate crisis isn’t just for activists; it’s something all of us can be part of. Start by staying informed and supporting research that exposes harmful environmental practices. Use your voice by signing petitions, contacting decision-makers, and backing campaigns that demand transparency and responsibility. Peaceful protest remains a powerful way to show public pressure, and when that’s not enough, litigation is an important tool to force accountability through the courts. From community action to legal challenges, real change happens when people consistently push for it. The more informed, organised, and persistent we are, the harder it becomes for corporations to ignore their responsibility.

    Climate finance includes public and private funding for mitigation, adaptation, and Loss and Damage, particularly to support developing countries and vulnerable communities. In a world where those who’ve contributed least to the climate crisis are often hit hardest, climate finance is a critical tool for fairness. It helps communities rebuild after disasters, adapt to a changing climate, and shift toward cleaner, safer futures.

The issue covers how the AI boom is extraction dressed up as innovation and how we as the people need mass-mobilisation to redirect society’s wealth toward social and ecological restoration and preservation.

Health and care workers are defenders of human rights At the Human Rights Council’s 59th session, Tlaleng Mofokeng called for a global paradigm shift: health systems must be sustainable and equitable, and they must treat care workers with dignity.

    Africa’s wealth is being drained long before it can benefit its people. Multinational corporations exploit loopholes while presenting polished “responsible” images. This isn’t about blaming citizens. It’s about exposing the systems and narratives that hide the real culprits. Transparency and accountability are key to a fairer future.

    The Mobilize Podcast Ep.1: The HIDDEN COST of spatial apartheid

    Professor Fiona Anciano in conversation with Koketso Sachane, unpacks how the legacy of spatial apartheid in South Africa continues to shape urban environments, and most critically, who bears the brunt of climate change. From segregated cities to unequal access to green spaces, flood protection, and clean air, the conversation not only revisits apartheid legacy and its impact, but how historical injustices intersect with today’s environmental challenges.

    “Mobilize: The Documentary”, is a compelling story that chronicles the inspiring journey of a group of volunteers who, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, launched a grassroots communications effort to address critical information gaps. This initiative, called COVID Comms, has since evolved into Mobilize, a fully-fledged communications and mobilisation social enterprise, committed to providing accessible information on pressing social issues such as energy and climate change. “Mobilize: The Documentary” is a 76 Media production, in association with Mobilize Agency.

Intersecting climate, social, and economic collapse pull at us from all directions: xenophobia, climate catastrophe, displacement, war, trash, and the relentless fossil industry. The scale of the work ahead of us requires more than 67 minutes of service. It requires mass movements and a generation of dedication.

    Buzzword Breakdown: Historical Responsibility

    Historical Responsibility for the Climate Crisis A small number of industrialised countries are responsible for a disproportionate share of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the most severe impacts of climate change are felt by countries in the Global South. This imbalance does not stop at national borders, it also exists within societies. The wealthiest individuals are typically the highest emitters, through activities such as frequent private jet travel, luxury yachts, and investments in highly polluting industries. In stark numerical terms, the richest 1% of the global population is responsible for 16% of annual global emissions, the same amount produced by the poorest two-thirds of humanity, around 5 billion people (Oxfam).

    Buzzword Breakdown: Maladaptation

    Maladaptation occurs when climate responses increase vulnerability, shift risks onto others, or create long-term environmental or social harm. Different types of maladaptation exist such as ‘rebound vulnerability’ which is a situation whereby the vulnerability of the intended target is increased rather than reduced. Maladaptation can also shift vulnerability so that it increases elsewhere or in the future. Eroding sustainable development by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, for example, is a type of maladaptation, too. Learn more: https://climatalk.org/2024/06/02/what-is-maladaptation/

    South Africa’s inequality has a history

    South Africa’s problems are real. Unemployment, crime, inequality, corruption, and failing public services affect millions. But targeting migrants will not solve these problems… they are structural and long-standing. South Africa’s inequality didn’t happen by accident; it was engineered. From the 1913 Natives Land Act to apartheid’s deliberate exclusion of Black people from land, wealth, and opportunity, the crisis we face today is structural.

    How to hold corporations accountable
    April 17, 2026

    How to hold corporations accountable

    Holding corporations accountable for the climate crisis isn’t just for activists; it’s something all of us can be part of. Start by staying informed and supporting research that exposes harmful environmental practices. Use your voice by signing petitions, contacting decision-makers, and backing campaigns that demand transparency and responsibility. Peaceful protest remains a powerful way to show public pressure, and when that’s not enough, litigation is an important tool to force accountability through the courts. From community action to legal challenges, real change happens when people consistently push for it. The more informed, organised, and persistent we are, the harder it becomes for corporations to ignore their responsibility.

    Climate finance includes public and private funding for mitigation, adaptation, and Loss and Damage, particularly to support developing countries and vulnerable communities. In a world where those who’ve contributed least to the climate crisis are often hit hardest, climate finance is a critical tool for fairness. It helps communities rebuild after disasters, adapt to a changing climate, and shift toward cleaner, safer futures.

    Africa’s wealth is being drained long before it can benefit its people. Multinational corporations exploit loopholes while presenting polished “responsible” images. This isn’t about blaming citizens. It’s about exposing the systems and narratives that hide the real culprits. Transparency and accountability are key to a fairer future.

    Overconsumption isn’t just an environmental problem, it’s a social one too

    Overconsumption isn’t just an environmental problem, it’s a social one too. In South Africa, a small portion of people use far more than needed, straining our planet and communities. Consume smarter: – Choose durable, high-quality clothes – Support local & sustainable brands – Reduce, reuse, recycle Small changes in daily life = a big impact for the planet and people.

    The Mobilize Podcast Ep.1: The HIDDEN COST of spatial apartheid

    Professor Fiona Anciano in conversation with Koketso Sachane, unpacks how the legacy of spatial apartheid in South Africa continues to shape urban environments, and most critically, who bears the brunt of climate change. From segregated cities to unequal access to green spaces, flood protection, and clean air, the conversation not only revisits apartheid legacy and its impact, but how historical injustices intersect with today’s environmental challenges.

    Buzzword Breakdown: Historical Responsibility
    July 3, 2026

    Buzzword Breakdown: Historical Responsibility

    Historical Responsibility for the Climate Crisis A small number of industrialised countries are responsible for a disproportionate share of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the most severe impacts of climate change are felt by countries in the Global South. This imbalance does not stop at national borders, it also exists within societies. The wealthiest individuals are typically the highest emitters, through activities such as frequent private jet travel, luxury yachts, and investments in highly polluting industries. In stark numerical terms, the richest 1% of the global population is responsible for 16% of annual global emissions, the same amount produced by the poorest two-thirds of humanity, around 5 billion people (Oxfam).

    Buzzword Breakdown: Maladaptation
    July 3, 2026

    Buzzword Breakdown: Maladaptation

    Maladaptation occurs when climate responses increase vulnerability, shift risks onto others, or create long-term environmental or social harm. Different types of maladaptation exist such as ‘rebound vulnerability’ which is a situation whereby the vulnerability of the intended target is increased rather than reduced. Maladaptation can also shift vulnerability so that it increases elsewhere or in the future. Eroding sustainable development by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, for example, is a type of maladaptation, too. Learn more: https://climatalk.org/2024/06/02/what-is-maladaptation/

    South Africa’s inequality has a history

    South Africa’s problems are real. Unemployment, crime, inequality, corruption, and failing public services affect millions. But targeting migrants will not solve these problems… they are structural and long-standing. South Africa’s inequality didn’t happen by accident; it was engineered. From the 1913 Natives Land Act to apartheid’s deliberate exclusion of Black people from land, wealth, and opportunity, the crisis we face today is structural. Swipe to understand the history, and join Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia – KAAX to organise for real change.

    How to hold corporations accountable
    April 17, 2026

    How to hold corporations accountable

    Holding corporations accountable for the climate crisis isn’t just for activists; it’s something all of us can be part of. Start by staying informed and supporting research that exposes harmful environmental practices. Use your voice by signing petitions, contacting decision-makers, and backing campaigns that demand transparency and responsibility. Peaceful protest remains a powerful way to show public pressure, and when that’s not enough, litigation is an important tool to force accountability through the courts. From community action to legal challenges, real change happens when people consistently push for it. The more informed, organised, and persistent we are, the harder it becomes for corporations to ignore their responsibility.

    Climate finance includes public and private funding for mitigation, adaptation, and Loss and Damage, particularly to support developing countries and vulnerable communities. In a world where those who’ve contributed least to the climate crisis are often hit hardest, climate finance is a critical tool for fairness. It helps communities rebuild after disasters, adapt to a changing climate, and shift toward cleaner, safer futures.

    Africa’s wealth is being drained long before it can benefit its people. Multinational corporations exploit loopholes while presenting polished “responsible” images. This isn’t about blaming citizens. It’s about exposing the systems and narratives that hide the real culprits. Transparency and accountability are key to a fairer future.

    The Mobilize Podcast Ep.1: The HIDDEN COST of spatial apartheid

    Professor Fiona Anciano in conversation with Koketso Sachane, unpacks how the legacy of spatial apartheid in South Africa continues to shape urban environments, and most critically, who bears the brunt of climate change. From segregated cities to unequal access to green spaces, flood protection, and clean air, the conversation not only revisits apartheid legacy and its impact, but how historical injustices intersect with today’s environmental challenges.

    Mobilize: The Documentary

    “Mobilize: The Documentary”, is a compelling story that chronicles the inspiring journey of a group of volunteers who, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, launched a grassroots communications effort to address critical information gaps. This initiative, called COVID Comms, has since evolved into Mobilize, a fully-fledged communications and mobilisation social enterprise, committed to providing accessible information on pressing social issues such as energy and climate change. “Mobilize: The Documentary” is a 76 Media production, in association with Mobilize Agency.

Intersecting climate, social, and economic collapse pull at us from all directions: xenophobia, climate catastrophe, displacement, war, trash, and the relentless fossil industry. The scale of the work ahead of us requires more than 67 minutes of service. It requires mass movements and a generation of dedication.

    Buzzword Breakdown: Historical Responsibility

    Historical Responsibility for the Climate Crisis A small number of industrialised countries are responsible for a disproportionate share of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the most severe impacts of climate change are felt by countries in the Global South. This imbalance does not stop at national borders, it also exists within societies. The wealthiest individuals are typically the highest emitters, through activities such as frequent private jet travel, luxury yachts, and investments in highly polluting industries. In stark numerical terms, the richest 1% of the global population is responsible for 16% of annual global emissions, the same amount produced by the poorest two-thirds of humanity, around 5 billion people (Oxfam).

    Buzzword Breakdown: Maladaptation

    Maladaptation occurs when climate responses increase vulnerability, shift risks onto others, or create long-term environmental or social harm. Different types of maladaptation exist such as ‘rebound vulnerability’ which is a situation whereby the vulnerability of the intended target is increased rather than reduced. Maladaptation can also shift vulnerability so that it increases elsewhere or in the future. Eroding sustainable development by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, for example, is a type of maladaptation, too. Learn more: https://climatalk.org/2024/06/02/what-is-maladaptation/

    South Africa’s inequality has a history

    South Africa’s problems are real. Unemployment, crime, inequality, corruption, and failing public services affect millions. But targeting migrants will not solve these problems… they are structural and long-standing. South Africa’s inequality didn’t happen by accident; it was engineered. From the 1913 Natives Land Act to apartheid’s deliberate exclusion of Black people from land, wealth, and opportunity, the crisis we face today is structural.

    How to hold corporations accountable
    April 17, 2026

    How to hold corporations accountable

    Holding corporations accountable for the climate crisis isn’t just for activists; it’s something all of us can be part of. Start by staying informed and supporting research that exposes harmful environmental practices. Use your voice by signing petitions, contacting decision-makers, and backing campaigns that demand transparency and responsibility. Peaceful protest remains a powerful way to show public pressure, and when that’s not enough, litigation is an important tool to force accountability through the courts. From community action to legal challenges, real change happens when people consistently push for it. The more informed, organised, and persistent we are, the harder it becomes for corporations to ignore their responsibility.

    Africa’s wealth is being drained long before it can benefit its people. Multinational corporations exploit loopholes while presenting polished “responsible” images. This isn’t about blaming citizens. It’s about exposing the systems and narratives that hide the real culprits. Transparency and accountability are key to a fairer future.

    #10 of the Mobilize Newsletter (3 November 2025) covers the WE THE 99% movement which is raising movements for systems of change with solutions from the people themselves. It looks at how answers cannot be found among the imperialist and neocolonial delegations of COP or G20 but amongst ourselves, co-created in communities. The future is being co-created by communities that believe in universal dignity, justice, peace and freedom.

    Overconsumption isn’t just an environmental problem, it’s a social one too

    Overconsumption isn’t just an environmental problem, it’s a social one too. In South Africa, a small portion of people use far more than needed, straining our planet and communities. Consume smarter: – Choose durable, high-quality clothes – Support local & sustainable brands – Reduce, reuse, recycle Small changes in daily life = a big impact for the planet and people.

    The Mobilize Podcast Ep.1: The HIDDEN COST of spatial apartheid

    Professor Fiona Anciano in conversation with Koketso Sachane, unpacks how the legacy of spatial apartheid in South Africa continues to shape urban environments, and most critically, who bears the brunt of climate change. From segregated cities to unequal access to green spaces, flood protection, and clean air, the conversation not only revisits apartheid legacy and its impact, but how historical injustices intersect with today’s environmental challenges.

    Buzzword Breakdown: Historical Responsibility

    Historical Responsibility for the Climate Crisis A small number of industrialised countries are responsible for a disproportionate share of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the most severe impacts of climate change are felt by countries in the Global South. This imbalance does not stop at national borders, it also exists within societies. The wealthiest individuals are typically the highest emitters, through activities such as frequent private jet travel, luxury yachts, and investments in highly polluting industries. In stark numerical terms, the richest 1% of the global population is responsible for 16% of annual global emissions, the same amount produced by the poorest two-thirds of humanity, around 5 billion people (Oxfam).

    Buzzword Breakdown: Maladaptation

    Maladaptation occurs when climate responses increase vulnerability, shift risks onto others, or create long-term environmental or social harm. Different types of maladaptation exist such as ‘rebound vulnerability’ which is a situation whereby the vulnerability of the intended target is increased rather than reduced. Maladaptation can also shift vulnerability so that it increases elsewhere or in the future. Eroding sustainable development by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, for example, is a type of maladaptation, too. Learn more: https://climatalk.org/2024/06/02/what-is-maladaptation/

    South Africa’s inequality has a history

    South Africa’s problems are real. Unemployment, crime, inequality, corruption, and failing public services affect millions. But targeting migrants will not solve these problems… they are structural and long-standing. South Africa’s inequality didn’t happen by accident; it was engineered. From the 1913 Natives Land Act to apartheid’s deliberate exclusion of Black people from land, wealth, and opportunity, the crisis we face today is structural.

    How to hold corporations accountable
    April 17, 2026

    How to hold corporations accountable

    Holding corporations accountable for the climate crisis isn’t just for activists; it’s something all of us can be part of. Start by staying informed and supporting research that exposes harmful environmental practices. Use your voice by signing petitions, contacting decision-makers, and backing campaigns that demand transparency and responsibility. Peaceful protest remains a powerful way to show public pressure, and when that’s not enough, litigation is an important tool to force accountability through the courts. From community action to legal challenges, real change happens when people consistently push for it. The more informed, organised, and persistent we are, the harder it becomes for corporations to ignore their responsibility.

    Buzzword Breakdown: Climate Finance

    Climate finance includes public and private funding for mitigation, adaptation, and Loss and Damage, particularly to support developing countries and vulnerable communities. In a world where those who’ve contributed least to the climate crisis are often hit hardest, climate finance is a critical tool for fairness. It helps communities rebuild after disasters, adapt to a changing climate, and shift toward cleaner, safer futures.

The issue covers how the AI boom is extraction dressed up as innovation and how we as the people need mass-mobilisation to redirect society’s wealth toward social and ecological restoration and preservation.

    Africa’s wealth is being drained long before it can benefit its people

    Africa’s wealth is being drained long before it can benefit its people. Multinational corporations exploit loopholes while presenting polished “responsible” images. This isn’t about blaming citizens. It’s about exposing the systems and narratives that hide the real culprits. Transparency and accountability are key to a fairer future.

    Overconsumption isn’t just an environmental problem, it’s a social one too. In South Africa, a small portion of people use far more than needed, straining our planet and communities. Consume smarter: – Choose durable, high-quality clothes – Support local & sustainable brands – Reduce, reuse, recycle Small changes in daily life = a big impact for the planet and people.

    The Mobilize Podcast Ep.1: The HIDDEN COST of spatial apartheid

    Professor Fiona Anciano in conversation with Koketso Sachane, unpacks how the legacy of spatial apartheid in South Africa continues to shape urban environments, and most critically, who bears the brunt of climate change. From segregated cities to unequal access to green spaces, flood protection, and clean air, the conversation not only revisits apartheid legacy and its impact, but how historical injustices intersect with today’s environmental challenges.

    This Mandela Month we are confronted by what the experts call the Polycrisis. Intersecting climate, social, and economic collapse pull at us from all directions: xenophobia, climate catastrophe, displacement, war, trash, and the relentless fossil industry. The scale of the work ahead of us requires more than 67 minutes of service. It requires mass movements and a generation of dedication.

    Buzzword Breakdown: Historical Responsibility

    Historical Responsibility for the Climate Crisis A small number of industrialised countries are responsible for a disproportionate share of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the most severe impacts of climate change are felt by countries in the Global South. This imbalance does not stop at national borders, it also exists within societies. The wealthiest individuals are typically the highest emitters, through activities such as frequent private jet travel, luxury yachts, and investments in highly polluting industries. In stark numerical terms, the richest 1% of the global population is responsible for 16% of annual global emissions, the same amount produced by the poorest two-thirds of humanity, around 5 billion people (Oxfam).

    Buzzword Breakdown: Maladaptation

    Maladaptation occurs when climate responses increase vulnerability, shift risks onto others, or create long-term environmental or social harm. Different types of maladaptation exist such as ‘rebound vulnerability’ which is a situation whereby the vulnerability of the intended target is increased rather than reduced. Maladaptation can also shift vulnerability so that it increases elsewhere or in the future. Eroding sustainable development by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, for example, is a type of maladaptation, too. Learn more: https://climatalk.org/2024/06/02/what-is-maladaptation/

    South Africa’s inequality has a history

    South Africa’s problems are real. Unemployment, crime, inequality, corruption, and failing public services affect millions. But targeting migrants will not solve these problems… they are structural and long-standing. South Africa’s inequality didn’t happen by accident; it was engineered. From the 1913 Natives Land Act to apartheid’s deliberate exclusion of Black people from land, wealth, and opportunity, the crisis we face today is structural. Swipe to understand the history, and join Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia – KAAX to organise for real change.

    How to hold corporations accountable
    April 17, 2026

    How to hold corporations accountable

    Holding corporations accountable for the climate crisis isn’t just for activists; it’s something all of us can be part of. Start by staying informed and supporting research that exposes harmful environmental practices. Use your voice by signing petitions, contacting decision-makers, and backing campaigns that demand transparency and responsibility. Peaceful protest remains a powerful way to show public pressure, and when that’s not enough, litigation is an important tool to force accountability through the courts. From community action to legal challenges, real change happens when people consistently push for it. The more informed, organised, and persistent we are, the harder it becomes for corporations to ignore their responsibility.

    Climate finance includes public and private funding for mitigation, adaptation, and Loss and Damage, particularly to support developing countries and vulnerable communities. In a world where those who’ve contributed least to the climate crisis are often hit hardest, climate finance is a critical tool for fairness. It helps communities rebuild after disasters, adapt to a changing climate, and shift toward cleaner, safer futures.

    #8 of the Mobilize Newsletter (6 October 2025) covers how the propaganda of capitalism and lies of those in power are no match for the people speaking truth to power. These truth tellers are rising up from the Eastern Cape to Johannesburg, from Soweto to the Mediterranean Sea. By seizing the narrative and telling our own stories, we plants the seeds of and for transformation.

    The Mobilize Podcast Ep.1: The HIDDEN COST of spatial apartheid

    Professor Fiona Anciano in conversation with Koketso Sachane, unpacks how the legacy of spatial apartheid in South Africa continues to shape urban environments, and most critically, who bears the brunt of climate change. From segregated cities to unequal access to green spaces, flood protection, and clean air, the conversation not only revisits apartheid legacy and its impact, but how historical injustices intersect with today’s environmental challenges.

    Buzzword Breakdown: Historical Responsibility

    Historical Responsibility for the Climate Crisis A small number of industrialised countries are responsible for a disproportionate share of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the most severe impacts of climate change are felt by countries in the Global South. This imbalance does not stop at national borders, it also exists within societies. The wealthiest individuals are typically the highest emitters, through activities such as frequent private jet travel, luxury yachts, and investments in highly polluting industries. In stark numerical terms, the richest 1% of the global population is responsible for 16% of annual global emissions, the same amount produced by the poorest two-thirds of humanity, around 5 billion people (Oxfam).

    Buzzword Breakdown: Maladaptation

    Maladaptation occurs when climate responses increase vulnerability, shift risks onto others, or create long-term environmental or social harm. Different types of maladaptation exist such as ‘rebound vulnerability’ which is a situation whereby the vulnerability of the intended target is increased rather than reduced. Maladaptation can also shift vulnerability so that it increases elsewhere or in the future. Eroding sustainable development by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, for example, is a type of maladaptation, too. Learn more: https://climatalk.org/2024/06/02/what-is-maladaptation/

    South Africa’s inequality has a history

    South Africa’s problems are real. Unemployment, crime, inequality, corruption, and failing public services affect millions. But targeting migrants will not solve these problems… they are structural and long-standing. South Africa’s inequality didn’t happen by accident; it was engineered. From the 1913 Natives Land Act to apartheid’s deliberate exclusion of Black people from land, wealth, and opportunity, the crisis we face today is structural.

    How to hold corporations accountable
    April 17, 2026

    How to hold corporations accountable

    Holding corporations accountable for the climate crisis isn’t just for activists; it’s something all of us can be part of. Start by staying informed and supporting research that exposes harmful environmental practices. Use your voice by signing petitions, contacting decision-makers, and backing campaigns that demand transparency and responsibility. Peaceful protest remains a powerful way to show public pressure, and when that’s not enough, litigation is an important tool to force accountability through the courts. From community action to legal challenges, real change happens when people consistently push for it. The more informed, organised, and persistent we are, the harder it becomes for corporations to ignore their responsibility.

    Climate finance includes public and private funding for mitigation, adaptation, and Loss and Damage, particularly to support developing countries and vulnerable communities. In a world where those who’ve contributed least to the climate crisis are often hit hardest, climate finance is a critical tool for fairness. It helps communities rebuild after disasters, adapt to a changing climate, and shift toward cleaner, safer futures.

    #14 of the Mobilize Newsletter (20 February 2026) looks at how the concurrent water, electricity and hunger crises are negatively impacting the people of South Africa. Whilst presidential promises signal reform, there is a widening gap between our rights and our lived realities as South Africans. The issue frames the urgency and scope of what is needed that being systemic action that puts people before politics and justice before rhetoric.

    Africa’s wealth is being drained long before it can benefit its people

    Africa’s wealth is being drained long before it can benefit its people. Multinational corporations exploit loopholes while presenting polished “responsible” images. This isn’t about blaming citizens. It’s about exposing the systems and narratives that hide the real culprits. Transparency and accountability are key to a fairer future.

    Overconsumption isn’t just an environmental problem, it’s a social one too. In South Africa, a small portion of people use far more than needed, straining our planet and communities. Consume smarter: – Choose durable, high-quality clothes – Support local & sustainable brands – Reduce, reuse, recycle Small changes in daily life = a big impact for the planet and people.

    Professor Fiona Anciano in conversation with Koketso Sachane, unpacks how the legacy of spatial apartheid in South Africa continues to shape urban environments, and most critically, who bears the brunt of climate change. From segregated cities to unequal access to green spaces, flood protection, and clean air, the conversation not only revisits apartheid legacy and its impact, but how historical injustices intersect with today’s environmental challenges.

    This Mandela Month we are confronted by what the experts call the Polycrisis. Intersecting climate, social, and economic collapse pull at us from all directions: xenophobia, climate catastrophe, displacement, war, trash, and the relentless fossil industry. The scale of the work ahead of us requires more than 67 minutes of service. It requires mass movements and a generation of dedication.

    Buzzword Breakdown: Historical Responsibility

    Historical Responsibility for the Climate Crisis A small number of industrialised countries are responsible for a disproportionate share of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the most severe impacts of climate change are felt by countries in the Global South. This imbalance does not stop at national borders, it also exists within societies. The wealthiest individuals are typically the highest emitters, through activities such as frequent private jet travel, luxury yachts, and investments in highly polluting industries. In stark numerical terms, the richest 1% of the global population is responsible for 16% of annual global emissions, the same amount produced by the poorest two-thirds of humanity, around 5 billion people (Oxfam).

    Buzzword Breakdown: Maladaptation

    Maladaptation occurs when climate responses increase vulnerability, shift risks onto others, or create long-term environmental or social harm. Different types of maladaptation exist such as ‘rebound vulnerability’ which is a situation whereby the vulnerability of the intended target is increased rather than reduced. Maladaptation can also shift vulnerability so that it increases elsewhere or in the future. Eroding sustainable development by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, for example, is a type of maladaptation, too. Learn more: https://climatalk.org/2024/06/02/what-is-maladaptation/

    South Africa’s inequality has a history

    South Africa’s problems are real. Unemployment, crime, inequality, corruption, and failing public services affect millions. But targeting migrants will not solve these problems… they are structural and long-standing. South Africa’s inequality didn’t happen by accident; it was engineered. From the 1913 Natives Land Act to apartheid’s deliberate exclusion of Black people from land, wealth, and opportunity, the crisis we face today is structural. Swipe to understand the history, and join Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia – KAAX to organise for real change.

    How to hold corporations accountable
    April 17, 2026

    How to hold corporations accountable

    Holding corporations accountable for the climate crisis isn’t just for activists; it’s something all of us can be part of. Start by staying informed and supporting research that exposes harmful environmental practices. Use your voice by signing petitions, contacting decision-makers, and backing campaigns that demand transparency and responsibility. Peaceful protest remains a powerful way to show public pressure, and when that’s not enough, litigation is an important tool to force accountability through the courts. From community action to legal challenges, real change happens when people consistently push for it. The more informed, organised, and persistent we are, the harder it becomes for corporations to ignore their responsibility.

    Climate finance includes public and private funding for mitigation, adaptation, and Loss and Damage, particularly to support developing countries and vulnerable communities. In a world where those who’ve contributed least to the climate crisis are often hit hardest, climate finance is a critical tool for fairness. It helps communities rebuild after disasters, adapt to a changing climate, and shift toward cleaner, safer futures.

Health and care workers are defenders of human rights At the Human Rights Council’s 59th session, Tlaleng Mofokeng called for a global paradigm shift: health systems must be sustainable and equitable, and they must treat care workers with dignity.

    Africa’s wealth is being drained long before it can benefit its people. Multinational corporations exploit loopholes while presenting polished “responsible” images. This isn’t about blaming citizens. It’s about exposing the systems and narratives that hide the real culprits. Transparency and accountability are key to a fairer future.

    The Mobilize Podcast Ep.1: The HIDDEN COST of spatial apartheid

    Professor Fiona Anciano in conversation with Koketso Sachane, unpacks how the legacy of spatial apartheid in South Africa continues to shape urban environments, and most critically, who bears the brunt of climate change. From segregated cities to unequal access to green spaces, flood protection, and clean air, the conversation not only revisits apartheid legacy and its impact, but how historical injustices intersect with today’s environmental challenges.
