Restoring forests after wildfire is crucial for the health and resilience of ecosystems, communities, and the planet. Wildfires can devastate landscapes, but reforestation helps rebuild essential habitats, stabilize soil, and restore water quality. By planting diverse species and supporting natural regrowth, we can enhance biodiversity, improve carbon sequestration, and mitigate the impacts of future fires. Healthy, restored forests are vital for wildlife, climate resilience, and the well-being of communities that depend on them. 🌲🔥🌍 #ForestRestoration #WildfireRecovery #Biodiversity #ClimateResilience #EcosystemHealth #Reforestation

International Day of Climate Action falls on the 24th of October every year to raise awareness of the pressing need to address climate change. 🌏 Climate action means one of two things: Firstly, reducing harmful emissions that cause this rapid rate of climate change. Secondly, improving our adaptation to the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, flooding and drought. 🌊 In our latest blog post we discuss sustainable ways we can manage this and how we can all do our bit.

Today, on #WorldWaterDay, have you ever considered that 🇸🇴's enduring hardship of droughts and floods boils down to effective water harvesting and management strategies?. Of course, climate change is amplifying these challenges in unprecedented ways. So, how can we adopt and implement measures to prevent further suffering? Let's explore sustainable solutions together.

Too much or not enough? ⚖️ Climate change affects the functioning of ports. On this World Water Day, we highlight the importance of the right amount of water in the docks. How does our port prepare for drought or abundance? Discover all challenges and measures on 💧 https://lnkd.in/e2-s2uHE. Curious about our efforts to improve water quality? Find out more in the video 👇! #WorldWaterDay2024 #WaterQuality

Is a drought truly "exceptional"—meaning without exception—if it occurs once every 6 years? Climate change complicates drought classification, with implications for its monitoring, management, and long-term adaptation. Our latest in AGU Advances, led by Zhiying Li (https://lnkd.in/expwW2ha), alongside a nice research highlight in EOS (https://lnkd.in/eYtNccfN).

Will you be at New York Climate Week? Don't miss out this event: Accelerating Adaptation: Mainstreaming nature-based solutions in the race to adapt to increasing floods and drought Whether through prolonged droughts or intensifying floods, the impacts of climate change are often most visibly felt through water. Nature can help. The session will tackle linked market failures (level of investment, local capacity) that are preventing widespread adoption of nature-based solutions (NbS) as a tool to reduce the risk of flood and drought. The session will also showcase real-world examples of how these barriers have been overcome, including with the leadership of forward-looking corporate actors.

Am just here thinking aloud about the climate change,loadsheding and Charcoal burning. The more the country will keep on experiencing loadsheding, the more people are going to keep on cutting down trees to make charcoal, because to the charcoal burners it's business for them, and this will have a great impact on climate and more will keep on experiencing drought 😞😞😞 because they won't be enough trees to enhance the rains, and the more the loadsheding will keep on experiencing, and the circle will go on and on! until our country turns into a desert 😢😢😢 am sure none of us would want our country to go to that extent.... So as individuals and a country as a whole, what measures can we put in place inorder to avoid such from happening? Am sure by working together we can find solutions to this problem, I believe this is not only for the government to fight, this should be a fight for every individual, because it's starts with us!

Are we prepared for the financial damage caused by climate change? Devastating floods and rising sea levels, in particular, are increasingly threatening people’s lives, their livelihoods, and the economy. Read our new article to find out why ambitious climate action is urgently needed and how you can reduce climate risks: https://lnkd.in/epsdt5En #ImpactPlus #ImpactInvesting #ClimateChange #climateAction #ClimateRisks #Floods #SeaLevels

The water cycle that shuttles Earth’s most vital resource around in an unending, life-giving loop is in trouble. Climate change has disrupted that cycle’s delicate balance, upsetting how water circulates between the ground, oceans and atmosphere. The events of 2023 show how significant these disruptions have become. From extreme precipitation and flooding to drought and contaminated water supplies, almost every part of the U.S. faced some consequence of climate change and the shifting availability of water.
