Of the 54 countries in Africa, only two, Mauritius and Botswana, have an investment grade of BBB- or higher.[1]. Most have ratings between B and CCC, which is too high a level of risk for most debt investors. This has pushed up the cost of capital, with CPI rates in high-emitting African countries ranging from 12.8% to 29.5%. Such high costs are a significant barrier to investment in critical climate change programmes.[2] Although guarantees are the preferred risk mitigation tool and can increase financing mobilization by 25%, they remain underutilized globally.[3] CPI's Africa Climate Finance Landscape 2024 report shows that…

I wasn’t born boogie. Growing up, my family motto was more “make it work” than “make it luxurious.” My dad always called me his with his snarky sense of humor. Biheni baby. In Hindi, this means his “beggar baby.” I was the child he and my mom prayed for to have more than 14 years of life, and then ended up wearing borrowed, mismatched clothes. I happily made do with old, mended clothes and my mom's uneven sewing skills. Back then, fun wasn't something we paid for—it was something we found: riding a bicycle with half-broken brakes, or playing horseback…

Transcript: When you throw away organic materials like food and yard waste, they often end up in landfills, where they release methane as they decompose. Rummel: “Landfills are the third largest source of methane in the United States.” Edwin LaMair is with the nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund. When methane is released into the atmosphere, it contributes to climate change because it is a powerful planet-warming gas. In the short term, methane absorbs 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide. Many landfills are required to report their methane pollution to the EPA, and emissions were reported at 3.7 million tons in…

From Cliff Mass Weather Blog cliff mass Multiple media reports stated that “Plan 2025” will become the Trump administration's blueprint for terminating or disbanding NOAA and the National Weather Service. I received at least six calls or messages asking about this. Let us consider the proposals for the 2025 plan calmly and without political commentary. As we all know, Project 2025 is an initiative of the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. This is their proposal to the new government. President Trump said he had nothing to do with Plan 2025 and was under no obligation to follow its recommendations:…

When global elites and bureaucrats decide that the world must be “fixed”, the consequences often speak for themselves. Take the latest technocratic failure: Bovaer, a feed additive designed to reduce methane emissions from dairy cows, marketed as a “climate-friendly” solution. The product has now been shelved by Norwegian dairy producer Q-Meieriene after consumers flatly rejected its so-called “climate milk”. This is more than a simple story of market rejection. It’s a cautionary tale about what happens when governments, corporations and globalists push policies and products that interfere with food supplies to solve problems that may not even exist. Seeking a…

Michelle HowardPaul Siegel Allowing reforms has quickly become a top priority in Washington, becoming an urgent national security priority. The United States is grappling with the twin challenges of rising energy demand and increasing global competition, especially from China. Despite the critical role our nation's energy infrastructure plays, the United States is trapped in permitting processes that can extend important projects by years or even decades. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange's Grid Security Center emphasized that overhauling the approval and construction procedures for energy infrastructure is not only a matter of efficiency, but also an urgent issue for the…
