We have so many narratives about peoples’ adaptation in tent cities today. By tent cities I refer to communities habituated by refugees.

Talking about climate change is one thing else, while acting upon climate change challenges and risks is another thing. Which is which for Africa?
Across the Sahara is a tree planting project running by the hundreds of miles. Started couples of years ago yet, the intervention will hopefully begin reforestration and arrest the prolonged desertification of the region.

Laos was among the countries totally devastated by the carnage of the US imperialist aggression. Previous to that war, there was the war of independence from France.
