UN Climate Change’s Post

Climate change can worsen the effects of disasters and hinder development efforts, putting populations at risk and in a more vulnerable position. It is important to avoid overlooking risks in planning processes and to effectively manage a comprehensive risk management approach

The degree of change in the world we leave for future generations hinges on our actions in the upcoming decade. Will we act in time or risk it being too late? Share your thoughts on this critical issue. #ShowYourStripes [Link to the post for further insights: https://lnkd.in/gEnrcUiP]

I think that it’s very important to make a distinction between the natural climate change patterns and phenomena earth has experienced in the past vs present changes and how human forces/factors into the equation accelerating and exacerbating the process. I truly believe that a big part of the issue is consumption of resources and energy and we all can contribute to consume less or avoid waste. #carbonfootprint #responsibleconsumption #climatescience

🔵 Every 🟡 fraction 🟠 of a degree 🟤 of global warming 🔴 matters. This data visualization from IPCC's Synthesis Report uses Ed Hawkins' warming stripes to show how climate change affects us all. While we're experiencing impacts now, the extent to which current and future generations will experience a hotter and different world depends on the choices we make today and in the coming years. #ShowYourStripes Day

A new study by researchers at Tsinghua found that global #GDP loss from #climatechange will exponentially increase as the planet gets warmer. It reflects the critical #economicrisk of global warming and that no country is safe from this change. Their research is an important reminder to prevent every additional degree of climate change.

On the one hand, false information about climate change flourished online over the past year (AFP), on the other hand scientists are busy trying to understand whether 2023’s off-the-charts heat is a sign that global warming is accelerating (NYT). 📈 📉 💡 A quarter of all the strongly climate-sceptic tweets came from just 10 accounts. 💡 Climate denial posts also peaked during the COP27 climate summit in November. 💡 Meanwhile, 2023 was the warmest year in the past 174 years, and very likely the past 125,000.

Very nicely presented! As #ipcc showed - the big difference between +1.5°C #globalwarming and everything beyond is in more frequently occurring dangerous weather events and disasters. It's going to be very expensive - both economically and from a life and health point of view. If we exceed +1.5 °C there will be way more wildfires, floods, draughts, disastrous rains and so on. And it is very dangerous for agriculture, food production and rural and urban life.

On July 22, the Climate Clock will tick down below 5 years for the first time, marking the time we have left to keep Global Warming below 1.5ºC. Actions all over the world will demand world leaders to #ActInTime. This pack aims to help partners across the world plan actions and amplify their work as part of the Climate Emergency Day global day of action. https://lnkd.in/e-sPrz-V Climate Clock Catalyst 2030
