Cameroon's Battle with Climate Change: A Nation on the Brink
The article discusses the severe impact of climate change on Cameroon, highlighting the country's vulnerability due to its geographical location. It covers recent natural disasters, such as floods and landslides, exacerbated by climate change and poor infrastructure maintenance. The National Observatory on Climate Change (NOCC) had warned of extreme rainfall, which led to a dam collapse in Yaoundé, resulting in significant destruction and loss of life. The article also touches on the socioeconomic impact of climate change, particularly on women and those in the agricultural sector. It emphasizes the threat to development posed by climate change, with the World Bank and UN Environment Programme (UNEP) providing data on the affected population and economy. The rising sea levels and coastal erosion are also causing problems for coastal communities and the fishing industry. Experts from the University of Yaoundé suggest measures to mitigate these effects, including infrastructure improvements, vegetation planting, and community awareness and disaster management.

The White House's Action Plan on Global Water Security aims to prevent conflicts and promote economic growth by protecting water supplies. The United Nations defines water security as access to adequate quality water for sustaining livelihoods and preventing water-related disasters. The Horn of Africa and Western Europe are experiencing severe droughts, exacerbating food insecurity and economic challenges. The International Resource Panel predicts that by 2030, nearly half of the world's population will struggle to meet water needs due to climate change and population growth. New global institutions are being established to address water scarcity, including the Global Commission on the Economics of Water.

Kenya's Flipiflopi: Sailing on a Sea of Plastic
The Flipiflopi, a traditional dhow sailing boat made entirely from trash and flip-flops, embarked on a journey along the Kenyan coast to raise awareness about plastic pollution. The boat, constructed by traditional dhow craftsmen from Lamu, is made from 10 tonnes of plastic waste and 30,000 flip-flops. The expedition, which began on Lamu island and will end in Zanzibar, aims to convey a message about the importance of recycling and the dangers of single-use plastics. Kenya, like many places worldwide, faces significant challenges due to plastic waste, which harms wildlife and the environment. The project, led by Kenyan tour operator and environmentalist Dipesh Pabari, was initially funded by volunteers, crowdfunding, and small donations, until the UNEP provided financial support for the expedition. The initiative also includes community clean-up activities and is part of a broader movement to address plastic pollution, which previously led to Kenya's ban on plastic bags in 2017.

Azerbaijan weaponises conservation law in conflict with Armenia
Azerbaijan is leveraging environmental accusations against Armenia in peace talks over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, claiming Armenia caused significant environmental damage during its control. Experts suggest these claims have elements of propaganda. Azerbaijani activists, allegedly supported by the government, are blockading the region, leading to humanitarian concerns. The United Nations Environment Programme's report noted both environmental damage from mining and natural recovery due to conflict-related abandonment. Satellite data contradicts Azerbaijan's claims of extensive deforestation. Both countries use environmental issues as leverage in ongoing peace negotiations.

Deborah Adhiambo, a resident of Nairobi, has been severely affected by air pollution, leading to asthma and economic hardship. Nairobi's air quality is significantly worse than WHO recommendations, primarily due to vehicle emissions, open waste burning, and industrial activities. To combat this, the city has implemented low-cost air quality monitors developed by Makerere University, which collect and analyze pollution data to inform policy and legal frameworks. The AirQo monitors are now used in eight African countries. The recent Climate and Clean Air Conference in Nairobi emphasized the need for data-led policy actions to address air pollution, with UNEP highlighting the severe health impacts of poor air quality globally.
