In Senegal, a project is empowering female farmers to overcome gender traditions that limit their access to land. The initiative trains women to sustainably feed their communities, adapt to climate change, and foster rural development. Traditionally, women in West Africa do not own land due to marriage customs and bloodline inheritance practices. The founder of We Are the Solution, who witnessed her mother's struggles, is now expanding her efforts to support these women.

A study published in Nature Climate Change warns that the global temperature increase of 1.5 degrees, initially projected for 2100, could be reached within six years if current CO2 emission rates continue. The remaining carbon budget to stay below this threshold is less than 250 gigatonnes, which could be exhausted by 2029 at the current emission rate of 40 GtCO2 per year. The study, led by Robin Lamboll of Imperial College London, indicates that the remaining carbon budget is half of what was previously calculated due to rising global emissions. The research emphasizes the urgency for governments to act and the importance of every ton of CO2 saved, while also noting that if countries achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century, the global temperature could decrease even if it surpasses 1.5 degrees temporarily.
