As everyday consumers remain largely unaware of the hidden hazards lurking in their homes, environmental health advocates are sounding the alarm over hazardous chemicals leaching from common plastics. At the 2026 State of Nature Assessment (Green SONA) held in Indang, Cavite, the Philippines, the Ateneo Centre for Research and Innovation (ACRI) and the EcoWaste Coalition spearheaded a urgent call for sweeping policy reforms. Organised by Green Convergence in partnership with Cavite State University and other key entities under the theme “Green Actions for a Sustainable Tomorrow,” the gathering drew some 350 multi-sectoral participants to confront what experts call an invisible public health threat: endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). tinyurl.com/4jcbauym via EnviroNews

African health leaders have called for a shift from climate-health assessments and plans to fully financed programmes that can protect communities and keep essential health services operating during climate-related shocks. The call was made during “Building Africa’s Climate Buffer: Financing Climate-Resilient Primary Health Care,” an investment roundtable convened by Amref Health Africa and Seed Global Health on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly. tinyurl.com/yhsmdvud via EnviroNews

A successful renewable energy transition should deliver three things simultaneously: reliable energy access, stronger community resilience, and decent economic opportunities for young people and local businesses.

Hello, African leaders, please "Make Renewable Energy Reach the Last Mile"

The Executive Director of the Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF), Dr Nnimmo Bassey, has called for a fundamental shift in the way energy, land and natural resources are governed, arguing that the global energy transition must go beyond replacing fossil fuels with new technologies. Bassey made the call on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, during HOMEF’s School of Ecology on “Commons, Care, and Community Energy Sovereignty” in Lagos. url-shortener.me/PS1X via EnviroNews

Peace is the ability to drink clean air and clean water. — Xiye Bastida #ClimateJustice #PeaceAndClimateAction

Our work is shaped by national climate, environmental sustainability, youth employment, skills-development and green-economy priorities, but the major challenge is that implementation is often weaker than the policy commitments, particularly at the community level. @ClimateWed

Our programmes intentionally seek to include young women, rural youth and other underserved groups, but participation is still affected by barriers such as limited access to finance and equipment, mobility constraints, inadequate information and the lack of accessible training and employment opportunities. @ClimateWed

In a major presentation to the Committee of African Heads of State and Government on Climate Change (CAHOSCC), the Chair of the African Group of Negotiators (AGN), Nana Dr. Antwi-Boasiako Amoah, outlined Africa’s strategic priorities for upcoming climate negotiations, key outcomes from COP30 and recent Bonn climate sessions (SBs64), and a unified multi-year roadmap spanning COP31 through COP33. Dr. Amoah warned that global climate action is facing unprecedented political and environmental pressures. Rising nationalism, conservatism, and climate denial are increasingly weakening multilateral cooperation. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and the global energy crisis have renewed international reliance on fossil fuels, slowing the transition to clean energy. url-shortener.me/PS1W via EnviroNews
