As the world commemorates World Environment Day 2026 under the theme, “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future,” there is no better time to reflect on the growing environmental threats facing Sierra Leone’s most important water sources and the urgent actions required to safeguard the future of water supply in the Western Area.

The Government of Sierra Leone has successfully coordinated the safe return of nine nationals from across the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), who arrived in the country from the United States under the Third Country National Agreement (TCNA).

All 2,626 Sierra Leonean pilgrims performing the 1447H/2026 Hajj have completed ‘Tawaf al-Ifadah’, also known as ‘Tawaf az-Ziyarah’, marking the end of the main Hajj rites.

Sierra Leonean company Westwind Energy has made international headlines after its Wonder Stoves Carbon Initiative became the first Programme of Activities to be listed under Gold Standard’s new Paris Agreement Alignment framework. The recognition marks a breakthrough for African‑led climate action and high‑integrity carbon finance.
