"Let's make the IPCC's science actionable and turn knowledge into global climate action," said Dr. Abdulla Al Mandous, President of the World Meteorological Organization, during his opening address at the 61st session of the IPCC in Bulgaria. "Let's harness this momentum and deliver concrete, actionable steps to COP29." https://lnkd.in/drqxAjk7

It's already the end of July! A good time to showcase our WMO calendar photo for the month. Many thanks to photographer Muhammad Amdad Hossain for this striking image of women in #Bangladesh who have to trek across a reservoir to get access to clean drinking water.. A cue to all our followers to submit their images to the 2025 WMO #PhotoCompetition. We especially welcome photos that illustrate the theme of #EarlyWarningsForAll as well as the beauty and power of our weather. 🌦️🌪️ Competition details 👉 https://bit.ly/WMOCalendar

🌾 Climate change is exacerbating the risks of food insecurity. 🌱 Despite contributing minimally to the climate crisis, low- and middle-income countries bear the brunt of the consequences, particularly in rural areas where people heavily rely on agrifood systems and natural resources for their livelihoods. 🔗https://lnkd.in/eG9fyFQU 🚨 Early warnings and seasonal climate outlooks are crucial for resilience, adaptation, and anticipatory action in agriculture. 🌐 By harnessing the power of data, we can gain valuable insights, drive effective #ClimateAction, and realize the #GlobalGoals. 🎥 FAO

#Methane emissions reduction is a must-have for #ClimateAction Why? Here 3️⃣ reasons: 1️⃣ Action taken so far to reduce carbon dioxide #CO2 #emissions has not been sufficient to keep the world on a path to stay within 1.5°C, or even 2.0°C, of warming as IPCC indicated —a stronger focus on reducing #Methane emissions will help us meet climate goals. 2️⃣ Addressing the methane issue alone will not be enough—to successfully reduce #GlobalWarming, action on methane emissions needs to be integrated with #ClimateChangeMitigation strategies that address #CO2 emissions. 3️⃣ Multiple, cost-effective methane abatement options exist, but government action is needed to regulate the necessary reduction in methane emissions across different sectors. Read the #Editorial of the Frontiers in #Science by #G3W former Director Lars Peter Riishojgaard and Senior Scientific Officer Dr Oksana Tarasova at the World Meteorological Organization as well as the lead paper on the Methane Imperative 👉 https://lnkd.in/eRaS38eY 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8aCtDaf #GlobalGreenhouseGasWatch World Meteorological Organization International Methane Emissions Observatory - IMEO UN Environment Programme UN Climate Change United Nations Global Methane Hub Global Methane Initiative (GMI) UNECE Sustainable Energy Climate & Clean Air Coalition MethaneSAT GHGSAT Carbon Mapper Kayrros EUMETSAT European Space Agency - ESA Copernicus ECMWF JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites) #GlobalGreenhouseGasWatch World Meteorological Organization

The groundbreaking ceremony of Vanuatu’s first weather radar system marks a pivotal advancement in climate resilience and disaster preparedness for the nation. This initiative will significantly enhance Vanuatu’s early warning capabilities, providing precise and timely weather information crucial for safeguarding lives and property. The World Meteorological Organization commends this milestone, which aligns with our recent efforts to bolster climate adaptation and mitigation strategies across vulnerable regions. As highlighted in our recent State of the Climate report, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe, emphasising the urgent need for such infrastructure. Such investments are essential in addressing the growing impacts of climate change and ensuring sustainable development for communities at the forefront of this global challenge: https://lnkd.in/daucGJwV

🔥 Environmental risks like extreme heat, air pollution, and wildfire smoke have devastating effects on children's health and development. 🌡️ Extreme heat causes the greatest mortality of all extreme weather events. However, the impacts are underestimated as heat-related mortality could be 30 times higher than currently recorded. 🚨 Heat warning services are provided to health decision-makers in only half of the affected countries, but they are expected to rapidly increase by 2027 under the #EarlyWarningsForAll initiative. 🎥 UNICEF

👀 Woah! 📽️ This data viz shows concentrations of carbon dioxide as the gas moved through Earth’s atmosphere from January through March 2020, driven by wind patterns and atmospheric circulation. 👩🔬👨🔬 “As policymakers and as scientists, we're trying to account for where carbon comes from and how that impacts the planet,” said climate scientist Lesley Ott at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. “You see here how everything is interconnected by these different weather patterns.” 🇺🇳 The WMO community is working hard with many partners to strengthen early warnings. But, in addition, we need to tackle the root cause and urgently reduce greenhouse gas levels, which remain at record observed levels. 🌐 You can't manage what you don't measure. And data visualizations help people understand how Earth’s systems work and can inform #ClimateAction. Explore more: https://lnkd.in/eipcpShJ
