UN: Africa urgently needs more fish farms to meet rising demand

The United Nations has urged Africa to urgently invest in more fish farms to meet rising demand for aquatic foods, especially as population growth and urbanization continue to increase the need for fish across the continent. According to UN sources, demand for fish is rising due to greater awareness of the health benefits of fish, alongside pressure from declining natural fish stocks and warmer water temperatures that are reducing wild catches. The push for aquaculture development is part of a broader strategy to improve food security and support sustainable economic growth in African countries. Experts say that without expanded fish farming, Africa could face growing supply gaps as wild fisheries become less able to meet consumer needs.

Global Mangrove Forests Stage Remarkable Recovery

Mangrove forests around the world are showing signs of a significant recovery after decades of decline, according to new research that highlights the growing success of conservation efforts and the natural resilience of these vital coastal ecosystems. Scientists have found that, since 2010, global mangrove gains have exceeded losses for the first time in decades. The turnaround marks a major shift for forests that were once disappearing rapidly due to expanding aquaculture, agriculture, urban development, and other human activities. Mangroves play a crucial role in protecting coastlines and combating climate change. Their dense root systems help shield coastal communities from storm surges, flooding, and tsunamis, while also serving as important habitats for fish and marine species. In addition, mangrove forests are among the planet's most effective natural carbon stores, capable of absorbing and retaining significantly more carbon dioxide than many […]

Terrorism Is Nigeria’s Most Complex Security Threat Says Gen Musa

The Minister of Defence General Christopher Gwabin Musa Rtd has stated that terrorism remains Nigeria's most complex and challenging security threat facing the nation today. Speaking at a panel session on Countering Terrorism International Cooperation Reclaimed at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum 2026 in Türkiye the former Chief of Defence Staff emphasized that terrorism has become increasingly complex adaptive and transnational driven by decentralised networks emerging technologies and illicit financing. General Musa warned that the convergence of terrorism organised crime and banditry particularly across fragile regions such as the Sahel demands urgent and coordinated global action. He stated that no country regardless of strength or capacity can confront terrorism alone and collective security must guide our response. The Defence Minister highlighted that as terrorists increasingly exploit digital platforms encryption and hybrid criminal networks global responses must advance faster through technology adoption […]

ITUC Africa urges unions to pursue solution driven talks with governments

https://thenationonlineng.net/welfare-of-workers-ituc-africa-urges-trade-unions-to-champion-solution-driven-engagements-with-govts Trade unions across Africa have been urged to move beyond complaints and actively engage governments in finding practical solutions to the deepening hardship facing workers on the continent. The call was made by Akhator Odigie, General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation Africa, at the Commission 2026 New Year School in Lomé, Togo. Odigie said the current realities demand urgent, solution driven engagement rather than endless lamentation. He noted that African workers are grappling with rising unemployment, economic instability and policy decisions taken far from the continent that can wipe out jobs overnight. He reminded participants that ITUC Africa was created to find solutions, not just to complain. Describing the global situation as a serious storm, he warned that sudden decisions by powerful nations can cripple fragile economies and destroy livelihoods in Africa. According to him, gains secured […]

Earth’s heat imbalance hits record high

The Earth’s climate is becoming increasingly unstable, with the planet now retaining more heat than at any point in recorded history, according to a new warning from the World Meteorological Organization. The agency reports that the Earth is absorbing far more energy than it releases, mainly due to greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide. This growing “energy imbalance” has driven ocean temperatures to record highs and accelerated the melting of ice caps. Scientists are also concerned about the possible return of El Niño later this year, a natural warming phase that could further increase global temperatures and trigger new heat records. Responding to the findings, António Guterres urged countries to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and transition to renewable energy. He warned that key climate indicators are reaching critical levels, highlighting the urgency of action. Data from the WMO […]

Climate migration in northern Ghana showing dried farmland and urban adaptation

Climate migration in northern Ghana is reshaping culture

In northern Ghana, climate change has quietly but decisively altered the rhythm of life. Rainfall patterns are no longer reliable, dry seasons last longer, and crop yields continue to decline. For many farming families, uncertainty has replaced predictability. In response, migration has become less of a desperate last resort and more of a deliberate adaptation strategy. Rather than severing ties with their communities, families increasingly use migration to diversify livelihoods while maintaining strong connections to their ancestral homes. What is emerging is not a story of cultural loss, but one of continuity and reinvention. For rural households, land is more than an economic asset. It carries memory, kinship, and identity. Farms are sites where history is passed down, where rituals mark seasons, and where belonging is anchored. As climate pressures disrupt these systems, families are pushed to look beyond agriculture […]

New Map Reveals Antarctica’s Hidden Landscape

Scientists have produced the most detailed map yet of the landscape hidden beneath Antarctica’s vast ice sheet, offering new insights into how the continent may respond to climate change. Using satellite observations combined with physical models of glacier movement, researchers reconstructed the shape of the land buried under kilometres of ice. The results reveal thousands of previously unknown hills and ridges and provide far clearer images of subglacial mountain ranges than earlier maps. Although uncertainties remain, the team says the new data significantly improves understanding of Antarctica’s underlying terrain and its influence on ice flow. This knowledge is critical for predicting how fast glaciers could retreat as temperatures rise and how much they may contribute to future sea-level rise. Until now, scientists have had a strong grasp of Antarctica’s icy surface thanks to satellites, but the bedrock below has been […]

Trump pulls US out of dozens of global organisations

US President Donald Trump has ordered the United States to withdraw from dozens of international organisations, including many focused on climate change and global governance. The decision affects 66 entities, nearly half of which are affiliated with the United Nations. Among those impacted is the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the treaty that forms the foundation of international cooperation to address global warming. The White House said the withdrawals were justified on the grounds that these organisations no longer align with US interests and support agendas considered ineffective or hostile. According to an official statement, the move follows a review that concluded continued participation amounted to a misuse of public funds. The administration said the decision would end US financial contributions and involvement in bodies it believes prioritise global initiatives over national priorities. It further accused several organisations of […]

Taraba Assembly denies Speaker shared N1,000 Christmas gift to constituents

The Taraba State House of Assembly and the Zing Watch Group have denied reports that Speaker John Bonzena gave just N1,000 each to constituents as a Christmas gift. The rebuttal followed social media outrage after some women and youths from Zing LGA claimed they received only N1,000 at the Speaker’s Jalingo residence despite being invited for Christmas support.​ The aggrieved individuals, reportedly drawn from different wards in Zing constituency, said they travelled to the state capital expecting substantial assistance. Instead, they alleged the Speaker personally handed out N1,000 per person, prompting criticism online and in local media.​ In separate statements on Saturday, both the Assembly and Zing Watch Group clarified that the N1,000 gesture was meant for children and young ladies living around Bonzena’s Jalingo residence, not visiting constituents. They explained that the Speaker’s main Christmas event for constituents was […]
