Stratégie 2024-2028

Natural Justice's 2024-2028 strategy focuses on empowering African indigenous peoples and local communities to defend their land, resource, and human rights against environmental threats and extractive projects. The organization employs a 'litigation plus' approach, combining strategic legal action with community legal education and advocacy. Key priorities include fighting fossil fuel expansion, securing land tenure, and protecting traditional knowledge, with a specific emphasis on feminist leadership and the decolonization of environmental justice.

• Natural Justice identifies a significant threat from fossil fuel expansion in Africa, noting that over 471 oil and gas projects are scheduled to begin activities between 2024 and 2028, which may lead to forced displacements and ecosystem destruction.
• The organization utilizes a 'litigation plus' approach, which integrates strategic litigation to stop harmful projects with legal empowerment to help communities understand and shape the law.
• Natural Justice has achieved specific legal victories in Kenya and South Africa, including the 2019 cancellation of a 1050 MW coal power plant's environmental impact assessment in Kenya and the 2022 annulment of Shell's seismic survey rights on South Africa's east coast.
• The strategy emphasizes the use of the 2014 Nagoya Protocol to ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from genetic resources, citing a 2019 global agreement between the Khoikhoi and San peoples and the South African rooibos industry.
• The organization operates through three interconnected programmatic pillars: supporting communities in legal empowerment, defending rights against environmental and social impacts (specifically targeting fossil fuels and land grabbing), and guaranteeing rights to land, resources, and traditional knowledge.
• Natural Justice implements several specialized initiatives, including the African Environmental Defenders Network (AEDN) for protecting activists, the Environmental Lawyers Collective for Africa (ELCA), and the Just Energy Transition for Africa (JETA) to support a clean energy future.
