Morocco Bets on Solar Desalination to Tackle Water Stress
Describing the operational process, he explained that water is first drawn through a borehole, then passes through multi-media filtration for pre-treatment, before undergoing reverse osmosis. The final stage involves pH correction to guarantee water quality. He emphasized that the plant faces the same operational challenges as any conventional desalination unit, except for a simpler and more reliable energy supply, thanks to solar power.


What Africa's First Roadside CO2 Sensors Hope to See
Africa's first roadside vehicle emission data sensors went live in Johannesburg, the wealthiest city in South Africa, in July. The goal is to measure the tailpipe carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from a batch of 100,000 vehicles daily. To date, no city in sub-Saharan Africa has implemented car emission-free zones like those in Paris or Amsterdam. South Africa is the 13 th most carbon-polluting economy on earth. Raeesa Moolla , an air quality expert at the city's Wits Universi


Thailand's Clean Air Movement: A Breath of the Future
Thailand’s air pollution problem is complex, stemming from multiple sources: exhaust from vehicles, emissions from coal-fired power plants, industrial waste, and smoke from agricultural burning. Recent Air Quality Life Index analysis suggests air pollution cuts the average Thai’s life expectancy by more than two years, while data cited by the National Economic and Social Development Council indicate that in 2024, 12.3 million Thais suffered pollution-related illnesses annuall


Global Climate Inequality: A Tale of Coal and Contradictions
From 2018 to 2023, South Africa endured a debilitating energy crisis as rolling blackouts paralysed the nation. This catastrophe stemmed from the premature decommissioning of coal plants without adequate replacement capacity. While South Africa struggled, China and India—two of the world's top coal consumers—expanded their coal infrastructure with less scrutiny, revealing a global inequity in climate policy.


Kenya's Clean Cooking Future
The collaboration between companies, government policies, and non-profit organizations has set the stage for Kenya to become a leader in clean cooking in the region.
