“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.

In November 2022, the drought situation remained critical in twenty of the 23 Arid and Semi-Arid Land counties in Kenya.

When electronic waste is recycled into new plastic products, including kitchenware, these harmful substances can leach into food during cooking, especially when exposed to high heat. Thus, while recycling plastics is often seen as a way to reduce pollutio

Urban farming offers multiple benefits, including increased food access, economic growth and environmental sustainability. By establishing local food sources, urban farms provide fresh produce to communities affected by food deserts while creating job opp

The expansion of civilization often came at the cost of nature; to make room for industrialization, vast tracts of land had to be cleared, leading to deforestation and habitat loss. This has fostered a pervasive belief that success in industry necessitate

Nearly 90% of the world's glaciers are located in Antarctica, with the remaining 10% found in the Greenland ice cap. According to the World Wildlife Fund, the glacial melt currently observed in Antarctica and Greenland is altering the circulation patterns

But why is this important? Glaciers and ice sheets store approximately 70% of the world’s fresh water, which are rising at unprecedented rates due to rising global temperatures. The day will raise awareness on the importance of glaciers, snow and ice in t

Remarkably, 2024 was the warmest year across nearly all continental regions, with the exception of Australasia and Antarctica. Contributing factors to this dramatic increase in global temperatures include warming in tropical oceans and northern mid-latitu
