Climate change and extreme heat can impact a community’s food accessibility, leading to poor mental health. Heat can impair how crops grow, which may cause food shortages in communities. Families constantly worry about how to acquire their next meal and how their children will eat

Africa's resource wealth is becoming a climate liability in South Africa and Nigeria.
South Africa's environmental challenges are primarily driven by coal-intensive energy depletion
Nigeria faces significant burdens from mineral extraction and weak mining governance
A recent study highlights the differing impacts of resource dependence on carbon footprints in these two countries

Major carbon finance and tech investors are funding a mass effort to restore 1.5 million hectares of South Africa’s degraded thicket with spekboom succulents.
However, experts warn that scaling too fast and overpromising CO2 capture poses risks.

There was almost a disaster at DHL Stadium in Cape Town, #SouthAfrica
Two planes doing a flyover nearly collided with the building. The first passes only meters above the roof and you can actually see the second one get struck by the pyrotechnics as it flies past.

On 11 and 12 May this year large parts of the Western Cape, South Africa experienced heavy rainfall, swallowing vineyards, tearing through cellars, and rising two metres high, they left behind a landscape unrecognisable. The vineyards had its fertile topsoil stripped away, generations of work buried under shoulder deep river sand.
Among the wreckage in the Robertson Valley, submerged in dark water and thick river silt, lay over a million bottles of wine.
When the water finally receded, what remained looked like total devastation. Mud-caked glass. Scuffed, peeling, waterlogged labels. Presentation ruined.
It would have been easy to call it a total loss. To discard them.
But when they cleaned the bottlenecks, they found something extraordinary: the seals held. Against the full weight of the river, against debris and rising water, the wine inside remained untouched, pure, and exactly as the winemakers had intended.
Now these muddy, water-marked bottles aren’t being hidden away or discarded. We can't export this but its being shared and sold here; Flood Wine we call it and it's a symbol of defiance and hope. 🍷
