The catastrophic floods that occurred from April 9 to 11, 2022 in eastern South Africa will also have legal repercussions. The Climate Justice Charter Movement (CJCM), a group of ten climate change organizations, is filing a lawsuit against the South African president. Cyril Ramaphosa and several of his ministers are accused of inaction in the face of the climate crisis. This behavior would have left nearly 50,000 people at the mercy of floods, the worst the country has seen in 60 years.
