Floods are becoming more frequent, more intense and are impacting more lives.

Resilience is no longer optional. It must shape how we plan, invest, and respond to protect lives and support economies,

Water is a basic human right.

Yet across the 🌍, women still don’t have an equal say in how it's collected & managed, & they consistently bear the highest cost to obtain it.

Here's how UNDP is working to ensure fair water access for all: https://t.co/J5eJK4poc9

#WorldWaterDay

[UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 @UNESCO]

💧 Water is essential for life, yet inequalities continue to shape access to this vital resource.

Around the world, women and girls often play a central role in collecting water for their households and communities, while remaining underrepresented in water management and leadership.

This #WorldWaterDay, we call for equal participation of women in water governance, for inclusive solutions that benefit everyone.

Predicting changes in tropical cyclone intensity, especially the timing of rapid intensification, remains a major challenge.🌀

In Geophysical Research Letters, scientists present the first simulation of an entire tropical cyclone, from an initial vortex to maturity, at a very high-resolution (100-meter grid spacing).
