🌍 Water under pressure.
WMO’s State of Global Water Resources 2024 shows the world swinging between deluge and drought:
▪️ All glaciers lost mass
▪️ 2/3 of river basins outside “normal”
▪️ 3.6B people face water shortages

You may not know this, but nature is our greatest ally against the #ClimateCrisis.
As wildfires, floods, and droughts escalate, it's clear we need urgent action.
That’s why #NatureBasedSolutions are critical – we must protect & work with nature to safeguard our shared home.
A greener future matters: 🌍 1) Cleaner air & water 🌱 2) Healthy food systems 🌞 3) Renewable energy security 🌳 4) Protects wildlife & ecosystems 🤝 5) Builds resilient economies for generations ahead. #Sustainability#ClimateAction#GreenLiving
🌊🌡️The North Pacific is in a marine heatwave with much of the basin at record warmth.
As heat-trapping, carbon pollution warms our planet, the ocean takes the hit: about 90% of the excess heat ends up in its surface waters.

Forests are crucial in helping us adapt to #ClimateChange.
They:
💧help ensure water availability
🌊 protect against landslides and floods
🏜️ prevent desertification
🧑🤝🧑 provide alternative livelihoods for people
The world needs topsoil to grow 95% of its food – but it's rapidly disappearing
Half of topsoil on Earth has been lost in the last 150 years
The world could run out of topsoil in about 60 years
Yes most people still think there will be food on shelves

“Plastic pollution moves from the environment onto our plate, and into our bodies... Recycling alone won’t save the oceans from the steady supply of plastic pollution...” — Anthony Merante, Oceana Canada explain to @TheTyee https://t.co/UCrVC2WYCq
30% of all clothes made are never sold, and 57% end up in landfills—a truckload dumped or incinerated every second.
Less than 1% is recycled.
Here’s how we’re tackling overconsumption for a better future for all: https://t.co/Bh5MKs0MbB
2024 was the hottest year on record. About 90% of the excess heat from global warming is stored in the ocean, making ocean heat content a critical indicator of climate change. #GlobalGoals

Extreme heat doesn’t just worsen air quality, disrupt sleep, or fuel wildfires. It can also accelerate your biological aging.
A new study found that just two years of heat wave exposure can age you by 8–12 extra days.
The toll the climate crisis is inflicting isn’t just affecting the planet – it’s affecting our bodies, too. https://t.co/WCSRtJXw02
From our archives: In Africa, a lack of weather stations is making it harder to warn people about upcoming extreme weather events or to determine the role of climate change after the fact.
