Environment News – Africa’s Climate & Nature Updates
Welcome to the hub for everything green on the continent. Here you’ll find the newest stories on climate trends, wildlife protection, and sustainable living across Africa. Whether you’re a student, activist, or just curious, the articles are written so you can grasp the key points fast.
Why the environment matters right now
Climate change isn’t a distant threat—it’s shaping daily life in towns, farms, and cities today. Rising temperatures affect water supply, crop yields, and even health outcomes. That’s why keeping up with the latest data helps you understand what’s happening in your neighbourhood and what you can do about it.
Take the recent global warming milestone, for example. Over the past year the average temperature rose above the 1.5°C limit, a figure scientists say marks a dangerous tipping point. June 2024 hit an average of 16.66°C, a record high that sparked urgent calls for stronger action. The report, released by the Copernicus Climate Change Service, shows the planet is heating faster than many forecasts predicted. It’s a clear signal that Africa’s climate policies need to keep pace.
