Japan has donated two fire engines to Lilongwe as the capital prepares for potential wildfire season, per Nyasa Times.
The donation comes amid growing concern over climate impacts in Malawi, with the African Climate Research Centre urging agricultural insurance as Super El Niño approaches, notes Africa Brief.
Meanwhile, civic space in Malawi faces challenges as a new report highlights incentives for civic leaders that may erode public accountability, according to Africa Brief.
E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E6, organisms; the pressure it names: fire response and climate impact. Its words also reach E7 ecosystems, E8 minds, E11 organizations and E9 cultures.
Here it is a dynamic between ecosystems, minds and organizations: wildfire season, climate impacts and African Climate Research Centre (E7 ecosystems), with agricultural insurance and Super El Niño (E8 minds), and fire engines (E11 organizations).
