#EarthDay ~ As a passionate Earth warrior I'm humbled to have worked on the ground with communities the world over. This day is an important reminder of our individual responsibility to champion sustainable lives, never forgetting we are part of an ecosystem of wildlife & nature!
Today I'm humbled to spend the day with the @ClimateZA and the media as we engage on both our mandate & the importance of climate communication as we deep dive into a #JustTransition
We are joined by @BDliveSA@channelafrica1 and room filled with communicators. @environmentza
As South Africans, we do not fully understand these kinds of storms & impact of extreme weather. And now these storms, typhoons, tsunamis & more are fuelled by warmer ocean temperatures & climate change, making their impacts even more devastating.
The Philippines has experienced two typhoons in 1 wk, leaving behind a catastrophic humanitarian crisis as the loss of life increases & impact on infrastructure & one million people displaced here alone.
Warmer oceans power stronger & more powerful storms . There is an increase in rapid intensification, which makes these typhoons and storms more difficult to predict with current systems.
Climate resilience is paramount as is the adequate allocation of resources by municipalities so that early warning systems can ensure that lives are saved. The power and importance of traditional knowledge can and must play a roll alongside stronger infrastructure planning and transparent risk governance.
These clips were taken by myself in Aklan yesterday as the Typhoon was making its way towards the Philippines, this island wasn't even hit by the Typhoon itself, however the impacts are felt far & wide as was seen.

The Philippines has been ravaged by Typhoon Tino over the past week and now the country braces itself for Super Typhoon #UwanPH#FungWong to make landfall with many areas being listed under 'extremely high risk' regions including Metro Manila. #Philippines#TyphoonUwan
