#ElNiño: 'The forecast is as good as it gets. The plans are largely written, financing mechanisms exist. Every day of delay is a choice – not a gap in knowledge,' argues @RodeKruis's Sirak Temesgen; @KenyaRedCross '24 file pic, what happened last time - https://t.co/n9pI1O2VFf

“If we want resilience to endure, we must invest in the local institutions and communities that remain when others cannot.”

The Climate Action Summit, hosted by the @IFRC and the @RCClimate, continues!

Hear from Mafalda Duarte, Executive Director of the Green Climate Fund @theGCF, on why investing in local institutions and communities is essential to building lasting climate resilience, and on the important role of the @theGCF and @IFRC partnership.

A pleasure to join today’s High-Level Opening Plenary of the Climate Action Summit alongside @DAcconciaEU of DG CLIMA and @zfoundation Charlotte Stemmer.

We discussed how we can finance action earlier, scale locally led solutions and invest in lasting local institutions.

A school was destroyed. 900 children survived.

Today, @ifrc's SG @jagan_chapagain shared how Nepal headmaster Rajendra Dawadi evacuated all students before floodwaters struck, thanks to @NepalRedCross Cross school safety drill.

Preparedness saves lives. #EarlyWarningForAll

Early action makes early warning work.

Today, I delivered opening remarks alongside the COP31 President @murat_kurum and joined the Hope, Humanity and Progress leadership dialogue at the Climate Action Summit hosted by the IFRC and the @RCClimate.

I shared how preparedness helped a headteacher in Nepal lead 900 children to safety before floods destroyed their school.

Warnings alone do not save lives. Communities must be prepared, empowered and resourced to act.

What a brilliant panel opening the Climate Action Summit today. Fine Tu'itupou-Arnold, SG of the Cook Islands Red Cross explains how communites are not asking us to redesign their systems, they want strengthened what they are already doing and we need humility to recognize that.

Powerful opening at the Climate Summit by Tine Stege, Climate Envoy of the Marshall Islands: "Let's be honest, the science has given us this wake-up call many times over. It is the same wake-up call that Pacific peoples, including Marshall Islanders, have been sounding 4 decades"
