💬"Climate events don't have to turn into disasters" - @FNyusi President of Mozambique🇲🇿.

It’s time to invest in EWS, notably in risk knowledge & in building the capacity of communities for #EarlyAction.

#WorldBreastfeedingWeek starts today!

Women shouldn’t require superpowers to juggle breastfeeding and work.

All moms everywhere, no matter their work or contract type, should have:
🧸 At least 18 weeks, preferably 6 months or more, of paid maternity leave
🧸 Paid time off for breastfeeding or expressing milk upon returning to work
🧸 Flexible return-to-work options

Let’s make breastfeeding and work, work!

@IFAD But it is us in the smaller Pacific nations with the least carbon footprint that’s being forced into migrating into countries that only want to exploit us for cheap labor and minimal cost of social and financial support.

@HeadUNDRR Preparedness is and has always been key to disaster resilience.

Soil depends on the presence of a vast community of living organisms to remain healthy and fertile.

These organisms make up soil biodiversity.

Yet we are losing #SoilBiodiversity at an alarming rate 👇

Investing in disaster risk reduction is a precondition for achieving the #GlobalGoals as the #ClimateEmergency brings with it an ever increasing number of extreme weather events #ForPeopleForPlanet

Great to see @GretaThunberg at #WEF20 today. Once again, I was struck by her potent and sobering call to action. Nobody speaks truth to power as she does: “Our house is still on fire. Your inaction is fueling the flames by the hour.” https://t.co/tbd7mh1P4Y

Large and numerous swarms of #locusts are threatening the #foodsecurity of the entire East Africa subregion.

If we don't change our habits now, global demand for #water could increase by 50% by 2030.

[UNDRR @UNDRR]

Economic losses are a good reason to do something about the #ClimateEmergency Since 1980, the U.S. has sustained 258 billion-dollar disasters overall that have exceeded $1.75 trillion in total damages. Weather and climate related disasters have doubled.

Many who have the good fortune to be resource rich with access to economic or political power seem to be more concerned with minimizing the full extent of the #ClimateEmergency and taking cosmetic measures rather than facing up to the true nature of this existential crisis

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Women can be career-oriented and have a family.

Let's build communities where we share the care work and empower each other to reach career goals. #WednesdayWisdom

This disturbing confirmation of an unprecedented catastrophe in the making should be a wake up call to the G20 countries to assume leadership in this age of #ClimateEmergency before it's too late. The world has to start reducing greenhouse gas emissions now.
