How are the least emitters places bearing the highest health burden? The unregulated emissions and lax air quality standards in Africa invite more heavy-emitter industries to expand, exacerbating the health burden and environmental degradation - a new evidence for climate injustice. Greenpeace Africa's "Major Air Polluters in Africa Unmasked" report fills a crucial gap in climate justice literature for the global south. I'm honoured to have peer-reviewed this crucial report.

A humanitarian with an interdisciplinary background who recently found a home in air pollution science --- leveraging Team Science to study and mitigate air pollution.
A major hurdle in addressing problems in Africa is the dearth of a common standard built on strong collaboration & scientific evidence. Can we change this narrative with the #CleanAirForumLagos to address air pollution in the AfricanUnion ? Curtsied: AirQo #CleanAirGhana

Big news from Paris today! 2.2 billion dollars have been mobilised to bring access to clean cooking to Africa. Hazardous cooking methods have severe health consequences for the population of many African countries. Inhaling the toxic fumes as well as risk of accidents are the second largest cause for premature deaths on the continent. What's more, the problem affects predominantly women who also have to spend several hours a day for the collection of the fire wood. And solving this problem is a low hanging fruit! It is not high-tech, it does not need immense investments, but it needs a political will and commitment. That's what the IEA and the co-chairs, the Madame President Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania, Jonas Gahr Støre, Prime Minister of Norway and Akinwumi A. Adesina, President of the African Development Bank, have shown today garnering support from numerous public and private players across the globe to reach this impressive outcome and commitment. #iea #cleancooking #africa

As we grapple with the rains in Kenya, communities in#Indonesia are also being uprooted due to rising sea levels. Environment journalists document this climate crisis and environmental injustices to ensure they are not erased from history. This story must be told. #WorldPressFreedomDay #WPFD2024 #SM4PKenya #PressFreedom #PressforthePlanet #ClimateChange #MediaCouncilKE @UnescoEast @fecomo_kenya @MediaCouncilK @EU_FPI @UNESCO
