GHG Protocol has proposed a tougher boundary for Scope 3 reporting. It would require companies to cover at least 95% of the required Scope 3 emissions.
Central banks are being pushed deeper into climate-risk supervision and stress testing. But the emissions data beneath those exercises are often built for different jobs.
Nigeria has exported about 950,000 barrels of a new crude grade to the Netherlands. The milestone signals fresh upstream momentum, but it also sharpens questions about local refinery supply, pump prices and policy discipline.
Mauritius has unveiled a three-year renewable pipeline designed to add 405 MW to the grid, backed by home solar, wind expansion and battery storage.
Waste is increasing faster than earlier forecasts suggested, and the sharpest pressure is now building across the Global South. A World Bank assessment says cities are heading toward a more immediate waste crunch than policymakers had expected.
Sahara Group has opened applications for its #SaharaBeyondXXX Graduate Management Trainee Programme.
Nigeria’s power crisis is sharpening the case for mini grids as a faster, more practical route to electricity access.
African and emerging markets are entering a new carbon-market era with Article 6 largely settled; however, it is not yet safely governed.
Energy transition delays are no longer only a climate problem. They are becoming a balance-of-payments problem for countries that still rely heavily on imported oil and gas.
Tourism is no longer being treated only as a leisure industry. It is increasingly viewed as a development platform that can create jobs, attract investment, support conservation and strengthen local economies, if destinations are designed to manage both growth and its side effects.
Climate finance is not standing still. Climate-themed funds grew, corporate target-setting improved, emissions disclosure widened, and carbon-credit retirements rose again in 2025.
Sustainability due diligence is no longer a niche compliance concept reserved for large European corporates. It is increasingly being framed as the minimum management standard for responsible business conduct across operations and business relationships.
For decades, Nigeria's states waited for FAAC allocations, federal transfers, and central government capital projects that rarely arrived on time or at scale. That waiting is now visibly ending.
The clean-energy transition needs more minerals, more metals and more processing capacity. It also needs more honesty about the emissions generated in that production.
Europe’s energy transition is still expensive, but perhaps less economically disruptive than many headline estimates suggest.
Climate adaptation is no longer a side issue to emissions policy. It is becoming a test of whether governments, markets and communities can protect lives, infrastructure and growth as climate risks intensify.
Nigeria's infrastructure deficit is not a funding gap; it is a structural crisis hiding in plain sight. With government revenues overwhelmed by debt service and personnel costs, the capital market must now become the primary engine of national development finance.
Nigeria sits on one of Africa's largest institutional capital pools of N29.43 trillion in pension assets as of February 2026, while facing an annual infrastructure financing gap that exceeds $100 billion. The distance between those two realities is not primarily a financial one. It is a structural, governance, and coordination problem.
Adaptation finance does not fail only at the funding stage. It often breaks down earlier, when projects lack the technical, social and commercial preparation needed to attract capital.
African and emerging markets are entering a new carbon-market era with Article 6 largely settled; however, it is not yet safely governed.
Africa’s democracy debate is no longer about whether citizens still value democratic rule. It is about why support for democracy remains high while democratic outcomes, in many countries, remain fragile, uneven, or in retreat.
Africa’s critical minerals moment is being framed as a green opportunity; however, raw extraction alone will not deliver green industrialisation. The real debate is whether the continent will supply the transition or shape it.
The UN-Water and UNESCO report reframes the global water crisis as a failure of governance and equity, rather than merely a resource shortage. Financing gaps, gender inequalities, and weak institutions continue to undermine access.
Indonesia’s Just Transition policy is ambitious, linking decarbonisation with jobs, equity, and growth, but its implementation reveals structural cracks. Governance instability, weak social financing, and fragmented policy execution threaten delivery.
Malawi’s reform moment has arrived under pressure, not prosperity. With inflation near 30%, exports shrinking and reserves critically low, the country faces a narrowing window to restore macroeconomic credibility.
The Future Action Summit (FAS) Thailand 2025, organized by the global youth-led organization Echo Change, is a four-day international summit distinct from the UN's "Summit of the Future" that convened in September 2024.
