PACJA South Africa, as part of the Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance, is dedicated to empowering South African communities through education, collaboration, and practical climate resilience strategies. Recent activities have included workshops and awareness campaigns in partnership with local organisations, such as the Sisonke Revolutionary Movement in Orange Farm, Soweto. These events focus on educating communities about climate change, its impacts, and practical mitigation and adaptation measures like agro-ecology and circular economy projects. The workshops aim to equip individuals with the necessary skills for sustainable practices and future climate resilience.

The event featured a series of insightful presentations aimed at educating the youth about climate change, its impact on agriculture, and potential solutions. The workshop brought together key speakers including Professor Mutengwa on climate-smart agriculture, Mr. P Xelewa on drug abuse, Ms. Likhona on gender-based violence (GBV), and Mr. L Nkopo on climate change, land access, and water issues. The day also included discussions, a poetry performance, and a Q&A session with participants, fostering community engagement and awareness.

The two-day workshop focused on enhancing skills for climate change adaptation and improving livelihoods through sustainable farming practices. Day one featured sessions on climate-resilient agriculture, nutrition-sensitive production, and value-adding techniques for local crops. Day two offered hands-on training in seed saving, soil fertility management, pest control, and fruit tree care, including pruning and grafting. Participants engaged in practical gardening activities at a local homestead, where they applied these techniques directly.
