Our Work
Terralex Africa is a pan‑African initiative advancing climate justice through strategic litigation, climate law advocacy, and ecological reparations.
We translate science and community evidence into enforceable legal outcomes and budgeted policy. Our work spans precedent‑setting cases, treaty ratification and domestication support, and frameworks that direct finance to communities and ecosystems. Guided by an advisory board and a network of advocates across the continent, we prioritize transparency, peer‑reviewed research, and durable implementation.
Our programs reinforce each other: litigation creates binding obligations; advocacy builds enabling law; reparations frameworks finance restoration
Climate Litigation
Our Approach
Identify winnable, precedent‑setting cases with regional spillover potential.
Build multidisciplinary teams (law, science, economics, community testimony).
File strategic cases; support amicus curiae; run clinics with universities.
Monitor compliance and support implementation.
Filings – Judgments – Enforcement Actions – Compliance Trackers
Ecological Reparations
The goal is to secure resources for communities and ecosystems affected by environmental harm.
What we do
Design legal frameworks for reparations (administrative and judicial routes).

Get in Touch
TerrAlex Africa is a Pan-African advocacy and litigation initiative. We use the law to confront ecological injustice, drive treaty enforcement, and demand reparations for communities most affected by climate change. We seek to use Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), Pan-African ecopolitics, and the Ubuntu philosophy, among other African-based instruments, to navigate the terrain of global ecopolitics, climate negotiations, finance & norm setting.
