UK urges households to stockpile essentials for emergencies

UK leader Andy Burnham urged households to prepare for emergencies as the government launched its “Be Ready” campaign, advising people to keep three days of bottled water and non-perishable food, a radio, cash and other essentials at home. The three-year campaign aims to help people cope with disruptions caused by severe weather, cyberattacks or hostile actors. At a wildfire and resilience summit in Liverpool, Burnham also announced additional fire-response resources, including military aircraft equipped to fight wildfires, specialist teams and up to £45 million in funding. The UK has faced droughts, extreme heat and wildfires in recent years, while a cyberattack on French supermarkets has renewed concerns about food security.

The unspoken language surrounding the El Niño phenomenon

The World Meteorological Organization announced on October 8 that a super El Niño is imminent. This extreme climate phenomenon, which occurs every two to seven years, can bring extreme heat, floods, drought, crop and infrastructure destruction, and loss of life. Southern Africa is expected to be hardest hit, but experts also warn of devastating effects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Kenya, Somalia, and Mozambique have begun preparing, while the issue is rarely discussed in the DRC despite reports warning of possible deaths. Jody Daniel Nkashama and Detyna Salumu discuss the lack of attention with Jean-Robert Bwangoy, a geospatial engineer and lecturer at the University of Kinshasa.

China–Côte d’Ivoire: Toward a Shared Green Future

The article connects Ivorians’ attachment to elephants with the story of a herd of 16 Asian elephants that left the Xishuangbanna sanctuary in Yunnan in March 2020. During their 1,300-kilometre journey, which lasted 17 months, Chinese authorities tracked and discreetly guided the animals, while residents were compensated for damage and factories suspended operations to reduce disruption. The herd returned safely to its habitat in August 2021, and its journey was featured at the COP15 biodiversity summit. The account presents the episode as evidence of China’s wildlife protection and ecological transition efforts, including Xi Jinping’s vision that clear waters and green mountains are as valuable as gold.
