[CitiesWithNature @CitiesWNature]

When you have 2 concurrent existential crises, you don’t get to pick 1 to focus on - you must address both no matter how challenging.

It's the same as having a flat tire & dead battery in a car. You’re still stuck if you only fix 1.

In #Africa communities are closing the gap when it comes to 🌍 digital #mapping! Why? Mapping data contributes to building urban #resilience which protects people from disasters & helps cities thrive.

How are they doing this? Find out: https://t.co/EzTicdJm9C

WATCH | Climate change explained in 2 mins.

When we see weather-related disasters on the news, #climatechange is often mentioned as the cause. But what is it? And why should we be concerned?

Our #resilience programmes reach 1.4 million people in West & Central #Africa. They support livelihoods, keep children in school and strengthen community ties.

This is one of the ways we help foster #stability and #peace.
