- Climate disasters are expensive. But prevention is an investment opportunity. Across cities, coasts and food systems, capital is already reducing climate risk, before costly crises strike. Discover 100 investment opportunities ➡️ ow.ly/W5Xc50Y9WuO
00:00 - Did you know: Storms can generate tsunami-force waves with almost no warning? 🌊 Meteotsunamis – driven by storms and rapid pressure changes – are a serious and underrecognised coastal hazard, with waves reaching up to 10 metres. Learn more ➡️ ow.ly/uxoC50ZcpbM
- The @WMO State of the Climate in Asia 2025: more warning, ocean heat & accelerating glacier loss – with extreme heat, flooding & drought taking a heavy toll. 🔔But impact-based forecasting and #EarlyWarningsForAll are proven cost-effective defences. ➡️ow.ly/EFba50ZcMtP
00:00 - Disaster risk reduction works best when everyone's efforts connect. 🤝 The Sendai Stakeholder Engagement Mechanism (SEM) brings together people, communities and organisations to coordinate action, share knowledge and shape DRR policy.🎯 ➡️ ow.ly/ELfN50Zcp0C
00:00 - 🌍🌾 Desertification is causing a growing health crisis. 🗓️On World Day to Combat Desertification & Drought we call for a united approach to reduce risks associated with desertification and drought. 📹 Watch 👇#UNited4Land #DesertificationandDroughtDay
00:00 - Cities have always had a heat problem – and it has never been equal. In the 19th century, Parisians sought shady trees, Londoners paddled in fountains, and New Yorkers cracked open fire hydrants. Heat policies need to reach everyone. ➡️ ow.ly/fXEA50Zcnny #BeatTheHeat
- 🌡️ Extreme heat is a major public health risk. Effective heat risk management requires an inclusive governance approach, with coordinated action across health, urban planning, energy, labour, and social protection. 🤝 Explore further ➡️ ow.ly/mk5V50ZbUyE #BeatTheHeat
- Disaster losses run at $202bn/year officially. The true cost – once ecosystem damage is counted – tops $2.3 trillion. FRAME-ECO now provides a methodology to close that gap, linking to DELTA Resilience for implementation. 🌿 ➡️ ow.ly/X9yE50ZbLll #NatureBasedSolutions
- Disaster risk exists as a spectrum. 🎯 Deterministic assessment: one defined scenario 🔭 Probabilistic assessment: likelihood across thousands of events Together, they provide a better foundation for preparedness. ➡️ ow.ly/bFYx50ZbJTP
- 🏝️ Nature-based solutions use coastal ecosystems and wetlands to protect us from flooding and coastal hazards like storm surges and tsunamis. Have you seen any of these nature-based solutions used along your coastlines? ➡️ ow.ly/Utoi50Y69IZ
- 🔥 Wildfire risk has intensified, but as we develop new solutions we need to ensure that these build on the ten fundamental principles outlined here. Explore further ➡️ ow.ly/Js3I50YcFf2
