Greenpeace غرينبيس’s Post

A new Greenpeace Africa and Greenpeace غرينبيس report shows six of the world's 10 largest nitrogen dioxide emission hotspots are in Africa. Pollutant emissions in Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa led to a considerable number of premature deaths, with the highest mortality linked to fossil fuel air pollution. The study suggests that life expectancy could be improved by up to 3 years in some African nations if air quality met World Health Organization guidelines. Exposure to air pollution is the second leading risk factor of death in Africa, and the air quality monitoring network needs to significantly expand across the continent. #airquality #airpollution #emissions #africa Greenpeace

https://lnkd.in/egZmTGh4 “ Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa have emerged as Africa’s most polluted countries in terms of air pollution disease burden, with profound health consequences for Africa’s people and exacerbated impacts on climate change, a report prepared by Greenpeace Africa and Greenpeace MENA can now reveal. The Major Air Polluters in Africa Unmasked report investigates the biggest human sources of air pollution across Africa, focusing on major industrial and economic sectors, including the fossil fuel industry. The report also presents recommendations to address the critical issue of air pollution in Africa, emphasising the need for investment in clean technologies, especially in the energy sector. International institutions share a significant responsibility in sustainably developing the African continent. “ Ferdinand Omondi Greenpeace Africa BBC News Mpho Lakaje

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

Africa’s forests are the lifeblood of the continent. They sustain millions of lives, support diverse ecosystems, and play a critical role in combating climate change. Yet, they are under threat. Forests in Africa provide essential resources, from clean air and water to livelihoods for countless communities. They also serve as vital carbon sinks, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. Protecting these forests isn’t just an environmental imperative—it’s about safeguarding the future of Africa and its people. Our commitment is clear: we must come together—governments, communities, businesses—to protect and sustainably manage Africa’s forests. The stakes are too high to do anything less. Join us in this vital conversation and learn how you can contribute to the preservation of our continent’s invaluable natural resources. #SustainableForestry #ClimateAction #Africa # #ForestsForAllForever #30YearsOfFSC#FSCForLife#

🌍 Communities in Africa are paying the price for the climate crisis Floods, droughts, heatwaves, and rising sea levels are devastating our communities, and the most vulnerable—women, children, and the elderly—are bearing the brunt. Yet, the wealthiest polluters continue to profit while doing little to address the crisis. We need urgent, coordinated global action to reduce emissions, scale up climate finance, and ensure a just transition to clean energy. It's time to hold those most responsible accountable and fight for a sustainable future for Africa. #ClimateJustice Sign our petition: https://lnkd.in/dNA6xDJr

Let's honor the incredible beauty and immense value of Africa’s seas and oceans. The Africa Day of Seas and Oceans is more than a celebration; it's a clarion call to action. Our oceans are the lifeblood of our planet, providing vital resources, regulating climate, and sustaining diverse ecosystems. They are crucial to the livelihood of millions of Africans, offering food, jobs, and a source of cultural identity. Yet, these invaluable waters face unprecedented threats. Pollution, overfishing, and climate change are endangering marine life and the communities that depend on the ocean. It is our collective responsibility to safeguard this blue treasure for future generations. As professionals and leaders, we must champion sustainable practices, support marine conservation efforts, and innovate for a blue economy that balances growth with ecological stewardship. Let's leverage our expertise and influence to advocate for policies that protect our marine environments and promote sustainable use of ocean resources. Today, let's reaffirm our commitment to preserving Africa’s seas and oceans. By working together, we can ensure a thriving, sustainable marine ecosystem that continues to support and inspire us all. Share with me your thoughts on how we can work together to protect our oceans. #AfricaDayOfSeasAndOceans #sustainabledevelopment #marineconservation #blueeconomy #protectouroceans #environmentalstewardship

This water kiosk shouldn't be the norm. Water scarcity, worsened by climate change, is a crisis in north eastern communities and beyond. It's time for action. The Kenya Government in collaboration with county governments must do more than just provide temporary solutions. Let's advocate for policies and investments that ensure clean, accessible water for everyone, regardless of location or circumstance. Last mile water connection needs to be the main agenda. #waterislife #waterscarcity #climatechange #policychange #sustainabledevelopment
