In this episode, Lazola Kati from Fossil Free South Africa unpacks the fight against fossil fuel greenwashing and the push for an ad ban.
She reveals how imagery, CSR, and advertising build social license and why this is urgent in the Global South, where communities bear the real costs of pollution and climate injustice. We trace South Africa’s first greenwashing complaint, its regulatory victory, and how local bylaws can shape national policy. Beyond strategy, we explore activism, burnout, surveillance, and the power of civil society networks. A grounded look at real resistance for climate justice.
