Following the official launch of the Nakuru County Agroecology Policy on December 10, 2025, the county recently convened the Agroecology Multi‑Stakeholder Forum, marking a decisive step in turning policy into coordinated, inclusive, and impactful action.

Scientists emphasize that about 90% of excess heat from global warming is stored in the ocean, making ocean heat a critical indicator of climate change. The year before, 2024 set the all‑time record, with global temperatures averaging 1.55 °C above pre‑in

Growing tomatoes outdoors demanded a lot of staking, but the sticks often rotted during rainy seasons. With no nearby bushes to source sticks, this became a major challenge. Sometimes entire rows were broken by wind, leaving fruits on the ground to rot. C

The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development warns that erratic rainfall and falling domestic output are already fuelling volatility, threatening a broader wave of food inflation that could hit maize and other essentials.

These items shed microplastics without our knowledge. They pollute rivers and soils, contaminate food chains, and travel through the air across continents. Recycling offers little relief, because many of these products masquerade as paper or natural fiber

According to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), Craig was a legendary super tusker, famed for his immense, ground sweeping tusks and calm, dignified presence. Born in January 1972 to Cassandra, the great matriarch of the CB family, Craig lived a life that

One of the most remarkable adaptations is fog harvesting. It is a simple, sustainable technique that captures moisture directly from the air. Across fog prone landscapes, fine mesh nets stretch like silent guardians.

Plastic takes hundreds, even thousands, of years to degrade. Instead of disappearing, it breaks down into microplastics that never truly vanish. Large animals like whales and turtles ingest plastic debris, leading to blockages, starvation, and internal in

The quarter century from 2000 to 2025 was essentially a transition from warning to action. The science became undeniable, policies took shape, and technology advanced, but the pace of change fell short of what was needed.

As acidification harms marine ecosystems, the ocean’s ability to absorb and store carbon decreases. More CO₂ stays in the atmosphere, driving climate change. And that, in turn, worsens acidification. The ocean still absorbs massive amounts of CO₂, but the

As 2026 begins, one of the most meaningful resolutions you could make might be building a home. But do you know you can build one that protects not only you, but also the planet?

The Planetary Boundaries framework, developed in 2009 by Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and colleagues, identifies nine critical processes that keep Earth stable.

Informal recycling practices such as burning wires to extract metals release dangerous fumes such as dioxins and furans, choking communities with toxic air. Furthermore, e‑waste squanders valuable resources like gold, copper, and rare earth metals, fuelin

UN Secretary-General António Guterres declared that the world is entering a “clean energy age.” This evidence was clear as global renewable capacity surged past 4,400 gigawatts, solar power alone grew by more than 450 gigawatts, and, for the first time in

Solidarity is embedded in the UN Charter and has long guided efforts to advance peace, human rights, and sustainable development. Climate change, however, is the ultimate test of this principle.

With this renewable foundation, Moi has revealed that Kabarak University is now pursuing artificial intelligence innovations powered by solar energy. These initiatives aim to drive advanced research, teaching, and real-world solutions, establishing the in

The rise of water levels in Kenya’s Rift Valley lakes remains one of the country’s biggest climate challenges. It is causing widespread displacement, disrupting ecosystems, and damaging infrastructure.

As a further mark of national honour, President Ruto has conferred upon her the Head of State Commendation (HSC) Medal for her outstanding service to environmental stewardship.

The Guinness World Records has already acknowledged her previous attempts, and now they’re waiting for the final evidence to make this one official.

Kenya’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has framed the Queen’s visit as a strategic opportunity: “The state visit provides a platform to strengthen Kenya–Denmark collaboration in renewable energy, climate action, and environmental protection. It presents oppo
