Recent findings have placed Nigeria as Africa's second-largest methane emitter, trailing only Egypt. This sobering reality brought together environmental experts, academics, and stakeholders at a landmark workshop in Port Harcourt, organized by the Environmental Centre for Oil Spills and Gas Flaring (ECOSGF) and the African Initiative for Transparency, Accountability and Responsibility Leadership (AfriTAL).   Understanding

Nigeria is facing a critical challenge when it comes to methane emissions – a potent greenhouse gas that is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide in its ability to trap heat. As a major oil and gas producer, Nigeria grapples with significant methane releases from gas flaring, pipeline vandalism, and oil spills. But the

In the last two decades, some of the deadliest extreme weather events have been significantly intensified by the effects of fossil fuel emissions. According to recent analyses, climate change, driven by greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, has worsened events like hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. These greenhouse gases have heated our oceans and atmosphere, intensifying

In the battle against climate change, methane emissions have become a growing concern, and experts are pointing to rural women as key players in reducing these emissions. With 45% of methane emissions being anthropogenic, primarily stemming from agricultural activities and waste mismanagement, the role of rural women, especially farmers, is increasingly recognized. Women in these

The recent devastating floods across South Asia serve as a stark reminder of the escalating climate crisis and its far-reaching consequences. With over 200 lives lost and millions displaced, these events highlight the urgent need for global action on climate change. The torrential rainfall and subsequent flooding have wreaked havoc across several South Asian countries:
