Marsabit County, Kenya, a region plagued by recurrent droughts, floods, and climate-related disasters, has turned to fish farming as a means of adapting to the changing environment. The initiative, led by the World Food Programme (WFP), aims to enhance food security and resilience among local pastoralist communities, who have traditionally
Climate change
Climate change regulations, including a 2024 rule requiring increasingly strict tailpipe emissions standards, have been built upon the 2009 endangerment finding that called climate change a danger to human health. Despite this, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced plans to rescind the finding, citing uncertainty for auto manufacturers and the economy.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a rule to roll back the 2009 "Endangerment Finding," a key federal tool for regulating greenhouse gas emissions. This move has been met with criticism from climate scientists and organizations like the BlueGreen Alliance, who argue that it will
Climate change
The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed revoking a scientific finding that has been the basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. The "endangerment finding" declared in 2009 that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public
