**AFRICA COAL NETWORK (ACN) COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR**

African civil society movements must ensure that there is a just transition to Renewable Energy (RE) in a democratic manner, serving Africa and its development first. The call for a just transition must be people led and based upon the principles of environmental justice, which strive for a regenerative economy for all Africans. Initiatives are already advocating for RE; however, coal, oil and gas remain entrenched in various geographies in Africa. Coal and associated fossil fuels have already devastated communities and ecosystems across the continent. It is necessary to push for justice for these communities and, at the same time, to push back against the expansion of fossil fuels. While Africa is not the largest coal producer or consumer globally, it is at a stage of critical decision-making. The next five years will define whether Africa’s energy trajectory will be coal and fossil fuel dependent, or whether it will shift towards RE based on a just transition.

The position of the Africa Coal Network (ACN) Communications Coordinator has become available. This pivotal role is intended to link the different initiatives in Africa and ensure cohesion between different campaigns and struggles, aiming to stop coal development and, when relevant, gas and oil, and ensure justice for communities and workers already impacted.
