Learn more about how to plan and plant a Miyawaki forest - a highly effective and fast-growing (often 10-times faster) urban forest. Send this to a friend and see how you both can bring one to your community now!

Starting Day 2 of the expert meeting on Robustness of Climate Change Information for Decisions, talking about what we mean by robustness, fitness-for-purpose, and our responsibilities with climate information. https://lnkd.in/ejDaqpPm

As climate change accelerates, Uganda—a haven for 1.7 million refugees—faces escalating challenges. Heatwaves and altered weather patterns are straining already limited resources, compounding the vulnerabilities of displaced communities. The implications are profound: - Environmental Degradation: Deforestation, soil erosion, and unpredictable rainfall disrupt livelihoods and biodiversity. - Mental Health Risks: Extreme heat exacerbates trauma, anxiety, and stress among refugees. - Socioeconomic Strain: Food insecurity, inadequate shelter, and resource scarcity deepen inequalities. Despite these hurdles, Uganda is demonstrating resilience, yet challenges remain, including resource limitations and urbanization pressures. For our case at the #RefugeeLawProject, we need collaborative action that integrates refugee protection into national climate strategies. How can we build stronger partnerships to amplify these efforts but also increase public awareness among our refugee clients? We will gladly discuss innovative ways to secure sustainable futures for displaced communities. WITNESS #ClimateChange #Refugees #Uganda #Sustainability #HeatwaveResilience #RefugeeLawProject

Today is the day!! If you are interested in extreme precipitation and how stormwater managers can adapt their systems to mitigate flooding, I hope you will tune in to hear what we learned through this research project!

The CCA shelves are full of stories that shape our understanding of some of Canada’s most complex topics, from nature-based climate solutions to disaster resilience to strengthening Canada’s approaches to innovation. We’ve highlighted a selection https://lnkd.in/eR7yfjFG

When we think about capital projects we have to be considering climate resilience in policy direction that enables designing and building for resilient communities. Being on the other side of these renewal efforts, it’s great to see the infrastructure respond to the ongoing and future needs of the community. This webinar is worth a view.

Heatwaves are intensifying, and their impact is felt around the globe. Join us for an engaging online seminar where leading scientists will unpack the origin of heatwaves, their social consequences, and the critical role our oceans play in this issue. We'll explore how this affects vulnerable populations, and the crucial role of civil society in building climate resilience. Take part in our seminar and find out how we can all engage in climate action 🌍🌱 Register here: www.tinyurl.com/ycyh43hf #climateaction Robert Schlegel Lara Nassar Patrick Otim Manuel Marinelli
