Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it is a present reality, manifesting with devastating force in the record-breaking development of Hurricane Beryl in July 2024. This unprecedented storm is a stark reminder that our warming planet fuels more intense and frequent hurricanes, putting countless lives and communities at risk. We must act now, with urgency and determination, to mitigate these impacts and protect our future."#climate action #sids

Our planet’s SOS signals are intensifying, and the evidence is undeniable: Climate Change is spiraling towards a point of no return. 🌍⏳ Every heatwave, hurricane, and drought echoes the urgent need for transformation in our relationship with the Earth. We cannot afford to be spectators in the story of our planet’s future. It's time for each of us to actively participate in writing a different ending, an ending where we take responsibility, innovate, and forge a sustainable path forward. Join the global movement to mitigate climate change. Your actions, big or small, can help steer us away from the brink. #climatechange #climatechangesolutions #earth #sustainablefuture #getrache

New tool predicts flood risk from hurricanes in a warming climate. Using New York 🇺🇸 as a test case, the model predicts flooding at the level experienced during Hurricane Sandy will occur roughly every 30 years by the end of this century. https://lnkd.in/dd2YDZ96

After the Hurricane: Climate change battering the poorest | Dying Earth: E2 | Featured Documentary The effect the carbon footprint of rich countries is having on developing nations who enjoy very few of the benefits. There can be no denying that wealthier countries, particularly the United States and Western European nations, have emitted the lion’s share of greenhouse gases that have led to our planet’s climate crisis. In fact, just 23 countries are responsible for half of all the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. However, it is the world’s poorer nations that are being hit hardest by the effects of climate change. After the Hurricane explores how vulnerable populations in the developing world are suffering damaging outcomes in terms of health, food, water, education and much more. It also sheds light on how, within wealthy countries like the US, it is still the most deprived who suffer the most severe consequences of their government’s inaction on climate, while those causing the biggest damage seem to simply get richer. https://lnkd.in/gtRyZh5w

I recently published an article on Medium exploring the devastating natural disasters that dominated headlines in 2023. From the Somalia drought to the record-breaking Atlantic hurricane season, these events serve as a stark reminder of the urgency of addressing climate change and building resilience in vulnerable communities. The severity and impact of several major natural disasters across the globe, highlighting the human cost and devastation left in their wake. The undeniable link between these disasters and the escalating climate crisis, emphasizing the need for collective action to mitigate its effects. Individual steps we can all take to reduce our carbon footprint and support sustainable practices, contributing to a more resilient future. Down below is the link to my article. Let's discuss! Share your thoughts on the article, the impact of natural disasters, and what we can do to create a more sustainable future. #NaturalDisasters #ClimateCrisis #Sustainability #Resilience #GlobalAction #Medium #evacovation #cop28uae
