The European Commission is putting nearly €126 million behind three renewable energy projects that only work because two countries agreed to build them together — climate-neutral district heating spanning the German-Polish border, and an onshore wind park straddling Latvia and Lithuania.

Kenya already generates more than 90% of its electricity from renewable sources — but a new Strathmore University study argues that reaching a truly carbon-free economy will take far more than clean power generation alone.

A new $457,000 UNDP-backed programme is handing conservation of Ghana’s Black Volta Basin to the people who live there — funding 18 community organisations to restore land, protect biodiversity and build climate resilience from the ground up.

Nigeria's Financial Reporting Council says more than 50 organisations across banking, manufacturing, oil and gas, fintech and the SME sector are moving to fully adopt the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards — a shift it frames as a strategic push for transparency, governance and competitiveness.

Kenya's clean-energy push has received a fresh boost as KenGen moves to add about 63 MW of geothermal power to the national grid, deepening the country's reliance on a steady, weather-proof renewable source at a time of record electricity demand.

While Ireland is criticised for only modest progress on cutting carbon emissions, one technology is quietly hitting its targets: solar. A gigawatt a year is now being connected, the sun met a third of national demand during the May heatwave, and 8GW is on course by 2030 — if the grid and planning system can keep pace.
