Lake Turkana occupies an arid region in East Africa, largely within north-western Kenya, but extending into southwestern Ethiopia. The lake’s catchment basin covers an area of approximately 130,860 km2. With a surface area of about 7,560 km2, the lake is 260 km long with an average width of 30 km, a mean depth of 31 m, and a maximum depth of 114 m. Lake Turkana supports 300,000 people and a fragile ecosystem. Ethiopia’s Omo River is Lake Turkana’s most precious source of fresh water, providing up to 90% of the lake’s inflow. In the last few decades, the air temperature increased by about 3 degrees, while more frequent and prolonged droughts have reduced the natural resource base. More than 60% of the inhabitants of the Turkana district are pastoralists, so their survival depends entirely on livestock and natural resources for food and daily activities, but due to climate change, pasture resources for livestock have dramatically reduced, encouraging those closest to Lake Turkana to turn to fish as an alternative livelihood. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) defines this conduct as "autonomous (or spontaneous) adaptation", which is an adaptation that does not constitute a conscious response to climatic stimuli but is triggered by ecological changes in natural systems and by market or welfare changes in human systems, opposite to "planned adaptation", which results from deliberate interventions.https://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/climate-visuals-9630.jpgResidents of the Vosman area of Witbank, Emalahleni, South Africa. People in the area suffer from breathing problems related to air-pollution from the nearby mines.June Mashaba (65) takes out her nebuliser at her home in Witbank, Emalahleni, South Africa, on November 29, 2023. June Mashaba suffers with asthma and has been using the nebuliser and inhalers since 2003 which she bought for around R395 at the time. The price has now more than doubled. At the time it was still easier to afford the machine as her husband was still alive and was contributing to the household. She now babysits infants to earn some money. “The neighbours know that if they hear the baby crying then I have probably collapsed from an attack,” she says “they are like the alarms and then the neighbours come to check if I am fine” June talks about the power outages and how it has really affected them because of not being able to use the nebuliser and relying solely on the inhalers. Her machine is the only one in the neighbourhood so it is shared among them. She used to also assist by getting additional inhalers from the clinics on her trips for the neighbours. “There was no electricity for two months last year and I was only using the inhalers. It was a tough time for all of us” Witbank, just like many communities in South Africa are surrounded by mines. Just nineteen months ago the High Court in Pretoria confirmed a judgement in what was called the Deadly Air Case, that the poor air quality over the Highveld Priority Area is a breach of residents’ section 24(a) constitutional right to an environment that is not harmful to their health and well-being.https://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/nasa-polar-scientists-7163119505_9d1ce5e6d4_c.jpgNASA polar scientists 7163119505_9d1ce5e6d4_chttps://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/image.pngimage2025-06-07T16:55:35+00:00monthlyhttps://reportingclimate.com/2025/01/01/stories/https://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/flooding-in-new-orleans-usaf.jpgFlooding in New Orleans USAFhttps://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/channel-4-news-climate-debate.jpgChannel 4 News climate debatehttps://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/gpa-solar-power-school-afghanistan-22548997838_ae3db001c9_c.jpgGPA solar power school Afghanistan 22548997838_ae3db001c9_chttps://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/mikael-colville-andersen-bikes-in-copenhagen-2743358467_4ee4dc1a8a_c.jpgMikael Colville-Andersen bikes in Copenhagen 2743358467_4ee4dc1a8a_chttps://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/climate-visuals-2734-sea-defences.jpgLand of high tide, men working to drive in posts to retain soil embankment on the coast from erosion by high tidesDuring the high tide the inhabitants of Ghoramara Island are fixing the fragile soil embankment to restrain the further land erosion and the high tide that inundates to the island that is rapidly disappearing due to the sea level rise.https://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/alan-stark-navajo-power-station-demolition-50734998741_f87bacf8b6_c.jpgAlan Stark Navajo power station demolition 50734998741_f87bacf8b6_c2025-06-07T16:40:05+00:00monthlyhttps://reportingclimate.com/2025/01/01/action/https://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/paris-agreement-arnaud-bouissou.jpgParis Agreement Arnaud Bouissouhttps://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/6241d-hand-book-person-girl-woman-reading-175683-pxhere.com_.jpgPlaceholder Image2025-06-07T16:39:28+00:00monthlyhttps://reportingclimate.com/2025/01/01/science/https://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/emissions-by-sector-pie-chart-owid.pngEmissions by sector pie chart OWIDhttps://reportingclimate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/climate-visuals-9743-belchatow-coal-fired-power-plant.jpgAir pollution near the Belchatow power plant in Poland.Belchatow coal-fired power plant.
