Disaster resilient infrastructure is essential to protect people. The 2018 European Forum for Disaster Risk Reduction is the place where Europe will discuss accelerating action. 21-23 November, Rome - Italy - 30 days to go! @DPCgov @unisdr #EFDRR

[UN Climate Change @UNFCCC]

In extremely hot summer, wildfires are hitting the Arctic Circle https://t.co/eFn36eOcWS Once relatively fire-free, Arctic areas are now likely to become more susceptible to fires because of #ClimateChange, climate scientists say @wef #ParisAgreement #ClimateAction

[UNDRR @UNDRR]

Red-hot planet: All-time heat records have been set all over the world during the past week e.g.
Spain, 46.9 C; Iran, 53.7 C; Yerevan, 42 C; Algeria, 51.3 C; #climatechange #SendaiFramework #ResilienceForAll

The first victims of climate change today are vulnerable people all around the world. Your generation has to fix climate disruption.

Five European #climaterisk assessments include cross-border impacts of #climatechange, e.g. #foodsecurity, development cooperation, and #migration. 🇫🇮🇩🇪🇳🇴🇨🇭🇬🇧 giving inspiration for the EU's #GlobalStrategy Report! @FedericaMog

[Rosi Cook @RosiCook]

@MalmstromEU Totally agree. I just heard that excuse the other day

[Cecilia Malmström @MalmstromEU]

On #womensday tomorrow, let's consign those men-only panels to the history books. #NoWomenNoPanel

[Camilla Born @camillaborn]

All countries need to look at their risks from transnational climate impacts (even if it is terrifying!) Points to Norway for taking the initiative #climatesecurity h/t @RosiCook https://t.co/CwyMEH5lVI

[Megan Rowling @meganrowling]

Don't give up on tackling disaster #risk in war zones, despite the difficulties, UN officials urge https://t.co/JV8ckWhD5K #disasters #conflict #WUF9 @unisdr @UNHABITAT @WorldBank @RobertGlasserUN

[Ingrid Holmes @IngridHolmes7]

EU’s High Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance #HLEG report is published (early!). As VP Jyri Katainen says the report is an ambitious “manifesto for far-reaching change” with global relevance https://t.co/FN8GARnVT3 @HLEG_Sus_Fin #climate #Sustainability

[Rosi Cook @RosiCook]

How can we talk about a social Europe if we leave the vulnerable behind? asks @CarlosCampillos at the EU Adaptation Strategy workshop and calls for making climate resilience a much higher #EU priority #climaterisk #EUBudget

"FEMA redrawing New York’s flood maps for the first time in three decades. It is a painstaking process that will affect tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people" https://t.co/XZKnCFQARE

[UNDRR @UNDRR]

US to set new record in 2017 for weather & climate disasters costing $1 billion-plus when costs for #Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria are assessed. Costs for 218 such weather and climate disasters since 1980 exceeds $1.2 trillion #switch2sendai #climatechange #ParisAgreement

[UNDRR @UNDRR]

Over the last two years more people were displaced in their own countries by extreme weather events than by conflict, over 40 million #COP23 #climatechange #ClimateAction @unfccc #switch2sendai https://t.co/zmRE1tdtVT

[Rosi Cook @RosiCook]

How should the next #EUbudget help the EU better cope with climate impacts? See new @e3g briefing with analysis by @CarlosCampillos and myself #resilience https://t.co/Xg3Y1Az6V4

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

The #EUCivPro Mechanism was activated 87 times between 2014-2017 – see where and for what types of disasters in the map below

[Rosi Cook @RosiCook]

EU calling for stronger disaster response, hope that includes managing climate risk https://t.co/QbMcCj5gOw

Good exchange with @unisdr Director Kirsi #Madi. Important to strengthen international cooperation on disaster reduction! @AUT_OSCE
