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 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 […]

Indonesia Flood Death Toll Rises to 442

The death toll from massive flooding and landslides on Indonesia’s Sumatra island has climbed to 442, with hundreds of people still missing. Authorities say major roads are cut, and power and internet services remain only partly restored in many areas.​ Monsoon rains made worse by tropical storms have triggered some of the worst flooding in years across South and South East Asia, affecting millions of people. Officials report hundreds more dead and missing in Thailand and Malaysia, while Sri Lanka is also battling deadly floods and mudslides.​ In Indonesia, the rare Cyclone Senyar caused destructive landslides and flash floods that swept away homes and submerged thousands of buildings. Survivors in Aceh and West Sumatra describe water surging into streets and houses within seconds, leaving them little time to escape.​ Search and rescue teams are struggling with bad weather and damaged […]

Tinubu Approves National Carbon Market Framework

President Bola Tinubu has approved a National Carbon Market Framework, a strategic move to position Nigeria in the global carbon trading economy. The approval, granted at a meeting of the National Council on Climate Change, is expected to unlock significant revenue for the country. The initiative could generate between $2.5 billion and $3 billion annually in carbon finance over the next decade. This framework will allow Nigeria to more competitively sell carbon credits on the international market. These credits represent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, which other countries or companies can purchase to offset their own emissions. President Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, stated that addressing climate change is an economic opportunity. He emphasized that the move will attract new investments, create jobs, and drive innovation in sectors like energy and agriculture. The government also operationalized the Climate […]

Agbogbloshie Residents Endure Extreme Heat and Toxic Air Amid Ghana’s Climate Push

As Ghana accelerates efforts to tackle climate change, national attention has largely focused on flood control and improved drainage systems. Yet, in Agbogbloshie—one of Accra’s most vulnerable and densely populated communities—residents are facing another silent but equally deadly threat: extreme urban heat compounded by toxic air pollution and overcrowded housing. Despite initiatives like the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development Project (GARID), which aim to enhance climate resilience in the capital, many argue that low-income neighborhoods like Agbogbloshie remain excluded from meaningful intervention. In Agbogbloshie, heat is not just an inconvenience—it’s a matter of survival. Narrow pathways, corrugated metal roofs, and poorly ventilated rooms trap unbearable temperatures, creating oven-like conditions that persist throughout the day and night. “My children have heat rashes every day. We pour water on the floor to cool the place, but it still feels like we’re […]

Unequal Climate Resilience: Odawna Residents Left Behind as Accra’s GARID Project Expands

As Ghana intensifies its efforts to combat climate change, the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development Project (GARID) is transforming parts of the capital with upgraded drainage systems, cleaner waterways, and better living conditions in flood-prone communities such as Nima, Alajo, and Akweteman. However, residents of Odawna, just a few kilometers away, say they have been overlooked. Recurrent floods and rising heatwaves continue to disrupt daily life there, exposing deep inequalities in the country’s climate resilience drive. GARID, supported by the World Bank and the Ministry of Works and Housing, was launched to protect vulnerable urban communities from flooding and climate-related shocks. In areas like Nima and Alajo, its impact is clear: new concrete drains, raised walkways, and improved waste management systems have reduced waterlogging and improved sanitation. Residents report safer neighborhoods and a visible decline in flood damage. In […]
