Surge Africa takes a system change approach to devise solutions to the climate crisis through an intersectional lens.
We develop high impact programs with potential to drive institutional and community-level change through policy & diplomacy, research analysis, strategic communications and alliance building. Together with our partners and allies, we are building an agenda that puts people first, by weaving the margins of justice, equality, and freedom in climate justice advocacy.
