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 […]

Africa Needs $250bn for Climate Goals, Says Kenyan Envoy

The Kenyan High Commissioner to Nigeria, Isaac Parashina, has stated that Africa requires $250 billion to meet its climate change goals, a target for which current funding falls drastically short. Speaking at a climate forum in Abuja, the envoy emphasized that the continent's main challenge is a lack of financial resources, not vision. He called for equitable access to global climate finance to ensure investments translate into measurable impact. Parashina highlighted that the transition gaps are not only financial but also institutional, technological, and managerial. He pointed to Kenya's own success in geothermal energy as an example of what can be achieved with policy continuity and a supportive regulatory environment. The envoy also stressed the need for greater collaboration between African nations, suggesting that Kenya and Nigeria have significant potential for cooperation in renewable energy and green technology.

EU Environment Chief Tests Positive for ‘Forever Chemicals’

EU environment commissioner Jessika Roswall has revealed she tested positive for toxic “forever chemicals” after undergoing a screening designed to raise awareness of their health risks. “Citizens are increasingly exposed to PFAS in their blood. I myself am no exception,” Roswall told reporters on Monday while presenting new European efforts on climate and environmental protection. The commissioner said some of the chemicals found in her blood are toxic for reproductive health, adding: “This strengthened my resolve to take our work forward.” Her team confirmed that Roswall tested positive for six of the 13 PFAS screened for, including three linked to reproductive harm, with concentrations in some cases exceeding safe levels. Roswall was among several EU ministers tested in July as part of a campaign to highlight pollution from PFAS — synthetic chemicals used in products such as nonstick pans, stain-resistant […]

Survey: Nigerians among strongest supporters of global cooperation

Nigerians rank among the world’s top advocates for international cooperation, according to a new global survey by The Rockefeller Foundation. The poll, released ahead of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, found that 71% of Nigerian adults support nations working together to solve shared challenges. This places Nigeria in the top five globally, alongside India (81%), South Korea (73%), and Kenya (72%). South Africa followed closely with 70%. Why Nigerians support cooperation William Asiko, Vice President for Africa at The Rockefeller Foundation, said the findings reflect Nigeria’s awareness of global interdependence. “Africans want a system of international cooperation that is not only effective but also equitable,” he said. Ndidi Nwuneli, president of the ONE Campaign and a board member at the Foundation, stressed the importance of collective action at a time when trust in global institutions is waning. […]

Drought Uncovers 40 Ancient Tombs in Iraq’s Mosul Dam Reservoir

In a rare archaeological discovery, researchers in drought-stricken Iraq have uncovered 40 ancient tombs after water levels in the country’s largest reservoir receded, an antiquities official revealed on Saturday. The tombs, believed to be more than 2,300 years old, were unearthed along the edges of the Mosul Dam reservoir in the Khanke region of Duhok province in northern Iraq. The discovery has been hailed as an extraordinary find, shedding light on Iraq’s rich ancient history. Tombs Dating Back Over 2,300 Years Bekas Brefkany, the Director of Antiquities in Duhok, confirmed the discovery, stating, "So far, we have discovered approximately 40 tombs." His team had initially surveyed the area in 2023, spotting fragments of a few tombs. However, excavation only began this year when water levels dropped to their lowest point, revealing the previously hidden tombs. In recent years, similar discoveries […]

Swiss Start-Up Revolutionizes Cocoa with Lab-Grown Chocolate.

A Swiss start-up, Food Brewer, is set to change the cocoa and coffee industry with its lab-grown approach. By using advanced cell culture technology, the company grows cocoa in bioreactors, bypassing traditional farming methods that are being increasingly affected by climate change and pests. This innovation offers a sustainable solution to declining cocoa production, particularly in West Africa. By 2026, Food Brewer plans to bring its cell-based chocolate to market, promising a product that’s both environmentally friendly and delicious. However, challenges remain, including regulatory hurdles and convincing consumers to embrace this new type of chocolate. The company aims to blend tradition with innovation, ensuring the new chocolate tastes just as good—if not better—than what we're used to.

Safeguarding Keta Lagoon: Community-Led Conservation Takes Center Stage.

At a recent workshop held in Whuti, Lawrence Kisseh Tetteh-Ocloo, Protected Area Manager for the Keta Lagoon Complex Ramsar Site, highlighted the urgent need to protect Ghana’s coastal ecosystems.
