In every crisis lies an opportunity—and in the climate crisis lies a revolution: a revolution of work, of purpose, and of possibility. We are entering the era of green jobs—and Africa must not be left behind.
As the world races toward climate solutions, a new workforce is emerging: technicians who install and repair solar panels,…
We often hear the phrase “Leave no one behind,” but what does that really mean for the everyday citizen, the policymaker, the entrepreneur—or the recycler in a Lagos neighborhood sorting through e-waste for value?
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—17 interconnected global goals adopted by all United Nations member states—represent the world’s boldest blueprint for building…
As the world intensifies its focus on climate change, we must confront an uncomfortable truth—Africa is sitting on a ticking environmental time bomb, and it’s not just carbon emissions from industry or transport. It’s waste.
Unmanaged waste—household, electronic, agricultural, and industrial—is silently poisoning our air, water, and soil, while also accelerating global warming. Yet, waste…
As Africa rapidly embraces solar energy as a pathway to climate resilience and economic growth, a silent challenge is gaining momentum: solar waste. For all our progress in electrifying communities, reducing fossil fuel dependency, and decentralizing energy access, we must ask a critical question — what happens when solar panels reach the end of their…
In our journey toward sustainable transformation across Africa, one truth continues to resonate deeply with me: sustainability is not a destination — it is a system. At Cleancyclers, we are committed to building those systems. We don't just see waste; we see potential. We see solar panels not as discarded technology, but as dormant opportunities…
In recent years, climate disclosure has become a key focus for businesses worldwide. This shift is being driven by increasing regulatory pressure, consumer expectations, and the need for greater transparency in how companies impact the environment. The European Union, in particular, has emerged as a leader in promoting climate disclosure through regulatory frameworks such as…
Rewilding, the process of restoring ecosystems to their natural, uncultivated state, has emerged as a promising approach to addressing biodiversity loss and combating climate change. By allowing nature to take its course, rewilding projects aim to create self-sustaining ecosystems that can provide a range of benefits for both humans and the environment.
Benefits of Rewilding…
The fashion industry is one of the world's most polluting sectors, contributing significantly to climate change, water pollution, and waste. The linear model of fashion, where clothing is produced, consumed, and then discarded, is unsustainable and harmful to the environment. To address these challenges, a growing movement towards circular fashion is gaining momentum.
Circular Fashion:…
Climate change is a pressing global health crisis with far-reaching consequences for human health. As the planet warms, we are experiencing more frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts, floods, and wildfires. These extreme weather events, combined with rising sea levels and changes in precipitation patterns, are having a profound impact on public health.
The Spread of…
In recent years, there has been a growing movement towards decentralized renewable energy solutions, with communities taking ownership of their energy needs. Community-led renewable energy projects offer a powerful way to address energy poverty, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and create sustainable, resilient communities.
The Benefits of Community-Led Renewable Energy
Energy Independence: Community-led projects can…
The fashion industry is one of the world's most polluting sectors, contributing significantly to climate change, water pollution, and waste. With the rapid rise of fast fashion, the demand for cheap, disposable clothing has led to a cycle of overproduction, excessive consumption, and unsustainable practices. However, a growing movement towards sustainable fashion is working to…
