The Durban Group for Climate Justice is an international network of independent organisations, individuals and people's movements who reject the approach to climate change promoted by polluting corporations, financiers, northern governments and economists.

Since 2004 we have provided a platform for discussion and analysis of* climate justice, and our members engage in regular advocacy in favour of real not false solutions to the crisis.

We view durable change as emanating primarily from grassroots and shopfloor movements for climate justice. We aim to help mobilise communities around the world and pledge solidarity with people resisting carbon trading across the world.
