The WMO State of the Climate in Africa 2025 report highlights the growing human cost of extreme weather and climate change across Africa, with 13 million people affected and over 3,000 lives lost, impacting communities, livelihoods, and economies.
These numbers remind us why climate action cannot sit outside humanitarian action.

On 18 -19 August 2026, CAN Tanzania (CAN Tanzania) collaborated with the Prime Minister's Office, DINGONET (DINGONET TANZANIA), UNICEF (UNICEFTanzania), and other stakeholders to organize the commemorations of , which was an opportunity to strengthen coordination around what happens before, during, and after disasters and honour humanitarians who take action when disaster strikes.

For CAN Tanzania, our message was focused on:
📌The use of climate services for early warnings to enable early and local action
📌The use of climate information technologies to anticipate risks
📌Timely finance and coordination to support preparedness and community resilience

Climate action is humanitarian action when it helps communities anticipate, prepare, and build resilience (Leave no one behind).

Join us today and tomorrow (18 -19 August 2026) at Danken Hall, Mikocheni (Opposite Palm Village) as state and non-state actors come together to ask an important question of how can we work together before, during, and after disasters?

As the world comes together to celebrate World Environment Day 2026, CAN Tanzania proudly reflects on a week of action, learning, and community engagement in Zanzibar.

Aligned with the global theme: "Climate Action" and Zanzibar's theme: "Jamii inaanza na wewe, chukua hatua katika kukabiliana na athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi kwa kuilinda Zanzibar yetu" our community-led interventions in Chuini and Tumbatu achieved the following:

✅3,320 mangrove seedlings planted
✅About 2,145 kg of waste collected, sorted, and properly disposed.
✅40 beehives handed over to the Tumbatu community to kick off beekeeping activities.
✅Over 400 primary and secondary school students trained on solid waste management and environmental responsibility.

This proves that small actions can create lasting impact and time, strengthening the climate resilience of our communities.

This is not the end for us, as a think and do tank, we continue to work hand in hand with the government and local communities in policy and community work to speed up climate action in Tanzania.

Day 4, towards World Environment Day 2026, brought us back to Tumbatu, where we visited Primary and Secondary Schools to continue our campaign on proper waste management awareness.

What stood out to us was the students’ commitment to take action based on the training they received. Truly, the future belongs to young people, and giving them the right environmental knowledge today means stronger, cleaner, and more climate-conscious communities tomorrow.

Let’s keep the conversation going, at school, at home, and in every community.

Yesterday, 2nd June 2026, was day 3 of our World Environment Day journey, and its actions speak for themselves.

In collaboration with Chuini Shehia leaders, Chuini Community Welfare Group, CAN Tanzania network members, and trained students from Primary and Secondary, we collected waste and demonstrated segregation in practice.

The action in Chuini will keep the community clean and healthy while inspiring others to do the same.

Day 2 of our World Environment Day 2026 journey took us to Chuini for a session on solid waste management awareness.

At Chuini Primary and Secondary Schools, we had engaging discussions on waste awareness, responsible disposal, and the important role young people play as environmental change makers. We sincerely thank the school administration for the warm welcome, support, and commitment to environmental education.

We also celebrate the students for their promise and dedication to keep their schools and home environment clean. Their commitment is a powerful step toward building responsible, healthy, and sustainable communities.

When children learn to protect the environment, entire communities benefit. With knowledge, action, and consistency, a green legacy can be achieved.
