Climate change doubles chance of floods like those in Central Europe, report says https://lnkd.in/g6eSF38y #SLSV #SLSVIndia #ClimateChange #Floods #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #EnvironmentalImpact #CentralEurope #FloodPrevention #ProtectOurPlanet #ResilientCities Grantham Institute - Climate Change and the Environment

#ClimateCrisis 🌧️🌍 Climate change has doubled the likelihood of extreme floods like the one that devastated Central Europe. This is a stark reminder of the urgency to combat global warming.The worst flooding to hit central Europe in at least two decades has left 24 people dead, with towns strewn with mud and debris, buildings damaged, bridges collapsed and authorities left with a bill for repairs that runs into billions of dollars.🚨 #ActNow #GreenFuture #ClimateJustice 🌱♻️

We asked young people in #Wiltshire & #Swindon what they think are the best ways to stop our climate changing. 14 year old Sasha answered: "Planting more trees to prevent flooding" Our fifth priority in our manifesto for nature is to 'tackle the climate emergency' - part of this involves investing in #NatureBasedSolutions to reduce flooding.

Our region has always experienced droughts, floods, fires, and heatwaves. Climate change increases the frequency, severity, and duration of these events. Our focus on climate change within all our projects means we're taking long-term action to ensure our environment, economy, and community is sustainable. https://lnkd.in/g_kM_qqg #CMAsGetItDone

Europe is increasingly facing extreme heatwaves, droughts, floods, and wildfires. Let’s face it: climate change isn’t just a future threat; it’s a present reality. While we need to step up our efforts to fight it, we must also strengthen our resilience and prepare for its impacts. The key to this? Working with nature. The upcoming European Commission climate adaptation plan will be crucial to create a more climate-resilient future.

The Climate Crisis is a Water Crisis 🌊 The climate crisis means cities are hit with extremes – severe droughts, catastrophic floods, and water scarcity. Millions in South Asia, especially in urban areas, live on the frontlines of this escalating water crisis. Join us on this journey to understand the impacts of flooding and drought across South Asia’s cities and see how communities are working to build resilience.

Floods 🌊 Droughts 🏜 Tornadoes 🌪️ Heatwaves 🌡️ Tropical cyclones 🌀 We're witnessing the devastating effects of climate change. It’s time to prioritise our planet and take meaningful action for a sustainable future. Let’s protect our environment today. Take #ClimateAction now: Weatherkids.org

Climate change is causing more extreme weather, which is causing major changes to our rivers and water courses. SEPA are on hand to help land managers and businesses adapt and plan for future climate change impacts. This #ScotClimateWeek, our colleague explains the variety of ways we help businesses and land managers adapt to flood impacts, and why dredging may not always be the right solution.

There are so many better alternatives to dredging - and even when dredging is done, it may not be long before nature replaces that silt.
