How Ethiopia’s Dam Reframes Climate Action in Africa

As of 2025, more than 80 protected areas across over 20 countries have been placed on the IUCN Green List. These include forests, wetlands, grasslands, mountains, and marine ecosystems. What makes the Green List unique is its emphasis on accountability.

Renewable energy is becoming more affordable and reliable. In many countries, solar and wind power are now the cheapest sources of new electricity, costing less than coal or gas.

Simply put, at the heart of the UN Carbon Market is a basic idea: countries, companies, and even individuals should pay for the carbon dioxide (CO₂) they release into the atmosphere. The more you pollute, the more you pay.

Mangrove forests are not just useless swamps to be cleared for development. They are nurseries for marine life, carbon sinks for the climate, and shields for vulnerable coastal towns

There is strength in numbers. When young people embrace sustainable habits, they help make caring for the environment part of everyday life. And when they lead by example, they inspire families, neighbors, and leaders to do the same.

While it might appear rare, bioluminescence is actually quite common in marine ecosystems. In fact, scientists estimate that over 75% of deep-sea creatures can produce light in some form.

According to the Soil Atlas – Kenya Edition 2025 by the Heinrich Böll Foundation, the rest of the soil is increasingly being degraded through erosion, nutrient depletion, salinization, and poor land management—posing a serious threat to food security, wat

While it might seem like a far-off problem, water pollution has long term effects that touch every part of our lives, from our health and local ecosystems to the very climate we depend on.

Thunderstorms can be triggered by warm, moist air rising rapidly, while extratropical cyclones form due to significant temperature differences between air masses. Tropical cyclones, known as hurricanes or typhoons depending on the region, develop and inte

Although data reveals that the 1.5 degrees Celsius mark was temporarily breached in 2024, the World Meteorological Organization's report released in late May suggests an increase in temperatures over the coming decades.

The term Anthropocene describes this period in Earth's history, where human activities have a profound impact on the climate and ecosystems. It indicates that humans have become a major force shaping the environment, influencing everything from weather pa

Bicycles produce no direct emissions, making them a key player in promoting sustainability and reversing the impacts of climate change. Unlike motor vehicles, they help create cleaner air and lower carbon footprints, contributing to a healthier environmen

Research has shown that including PLWD in policy and decision-making processes strengthens climate actions and creates resilient societies. It is also a sign of respecting the rights of this special group of people.

“Every additional fraction of a degree of warming drives more harmful heatwaves, extreme rainfall events, intense droughts, melting ice sheets, sea ice, and glaciers, heating of the ocean, and rising sea levels,” the WMO stated.

Buildings and construction industries account for approximately 32% of global energy consumption and a similar amount of carbon dioxide emissions. This is more compared to transport and agriculture combined.

Climate change can worsen existing social and economic inequalities, with poorer communities and marginalized groups often bearing the brunt of the health impacts.

The use of pesticides and chemicals in tea farming can severely degrade soil health and harm local ecosystems. These substances not only affect the land but also pose a risk to nearby water sources, leading to pollution that endangers wildlife and human h

In Kenya, projections indicate that electric 2-wheelers (motorcycles) will exceed 60,000 units by 2030, with cumulative figures surpassing 200,000 given strong incentives. The 3-wheeler (tuk-tuk) market could also reach over 280 annual sales, totaling mor

Nature-based tourism, often referred to as ecotourism, satisfies our desire for natural experiences while also supporting the health of local communities. If you cherish the outdoors, ecotourism is the ideal travel choice.

Global warming, along with escalating climate disasters, encourages scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs to create inventive solutions which bring prospects for sustainable development.

Securing your home and surroundings is an important action to take. This basically means fortifying your homes against any potential damage that might be caused by the elements. You can secure your home by checking possible leaks, checking your roofs to s

Vermicomposting is a process whereby earthworms eat and digest raw organic waste into nutrients in the soil. It may sound weird, but this is actually one of the few ways of naturally maintaining a longer fertility status without subjecting the soil to the

Our choices have consequences, and we have to consider their implications. It is also essential to ensure that our actions towards climate change are solving the problem and not shifting the problem. It is also important to note that the effects of climat

Red Creole is a well-known onion variety valued for its rich red colour, flavour, and long shelf life. It is commonly grown in tropical and subtropical regions, including Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
