This is all great, but today I’m not interested in talking about FTSE 100 dividend heroes. I think there may be better UK shares to buy for dividends right now. Small talk A fresh…

Long-term vision: Meta signs 10-year deal with EFM to purchase 676,000 carbon removal credits tied to climate-smart forest management. Forestry transformation: EFM’s shift of 68,000-acre Olympic Rainforest from industrial logging to sustainable practices will unlock over 1 million tonnes of CO₂ removals.

Over the past year, the Airtel Africa share price has jumped 55%,…
