Changing weather patterns, severe soil erosion, and growing deforestation are putting the fragile Mt. Elgon highland ecosystem under increasing pressure. For the Koony People, the climate crisis is not an abstract global issue. It is a direct threat to their ancestral land, culture, and survival. To respond, the community has turned to a powerful local tool: Indigenous-language community radio. Through interactive broadcasts, residents are making climate information easier to understand and connecting global climate change to their daily lives and traditional conservation practices. For years, climate discussions have been led mostly by scientists and policymakers, often leaving Indigenous communities out. On Mt. Elgon, community radio is helping close that gap by translating climate science into the Koony language. “The presenters explained climate issues in a simple way that made sense to people like us who are not experts,” said Joseph Pkemoi, a resident of Sendera, adding, “I liked that it was interactive. We could ask questions and even share our opinions live on radio.” By using the community’s own language, the broadcasts have built trust and encouraged more people to take part. They have also helped residents see how climate change is affecting their environment and daily lives. “The discussions...

This story was originally published by Grist. Sign up for Grist’s weekly newsletter here. Last month, nearly a dozen wildfires erupted across southern California, sending plumes of smoke and particulate matter into the air. Public health officials in Los Angeles issued a multiday air quality advisory for the county, warning of “potential direct smoke impact” and advising everyone who could see or smell smoke to “avoid unnecessary outdoor exposure and to limit physical exertion.” The red zone on the map included Los Angeles Stadium—also known as SoFi Stadium—one of the venues for the World Cup, soccer’s marquee event, which begins on Thursday. Between June 12 and July 10, Los Angeles will host eight games and is expected to draw tens of thousands of fans and scores of players. As dry, hot, conditions persist, more fires are possible and smoke could once again loom over the stadium. The same risk exists for a number of the 15 other World Cup host cities. But, despite the documented health impacts of smoke exposure, FIFA, the international governing body for soccer, doesn’t appear to have a plan if the air quality deteriorates. “FIFA has basically almost done nothing,” said Nicholas Watanabe, a professor of...
