The Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (SAFCEI) is a multi-faith environmental justice organisation that actively supports faith leaders and their communities to take action for a just and sustainable future.
We are working to realise a just energy transition, that would be accessible, affordable, sustainable energy for all. With faith leaders and communities from the region, we create spaces to learn from each other and galvanise collective action, recognising the unequal impact of climate change on those least responsible for emissions.
