Studies show that historically Black neighborhoods often have hotter temps than other parts of cities, notes @Nature. “We have a lot of great research that we need to mobilize into feasible and effective policy solutions,” said @DukeU expert @AshleyWardNC. https://t.co/ND1wFmjjKB

Indigenous groups in Jujuy, Argentina, are protesting against lithium mining. The metal is crucial for batteries in electronics and electric vehicles but poses a threat to their traditional way of living due to water demand.

@HIHngo @DukeEnvironment @ph_alliance Thanks to @liveimproper for bringing this to our attention!

[DukePlanetLab @DukePlanetLab]

#Famine in #Madagascar is caused by #ClimateChange, #Deforestation, #Poverty, #PopulationGrowth and government mismanagement.

@HIHngo is working hard to address these issues before they impact the region just to the north.

“It is also a terrible discrimination because the first victims of extreme heat are poor people,” Mr. Santamouris said. “Ninety percent of those who died in 2003 were low-income people.”

[DukePlanetLab @DukePlanetLab]

Naming heatwaves!

“The most recent #heatwave — called #Cerberus for the multiheaded dog that guards the gates of the underworld — tilted temperatures well above 37 C (99 F)…”.

Answers to these questions will inform the efforts of @HIHngo to help communities conserve critical rainforest resources.

This is what the water source looks like in many villages. How will they change as rainfall becomes more erratic? Will drought migrate north? Do more powerful tropical cyclones flush more pathogens into the system?

[DukePlanetLab @DukePlanetLab]

#Water is key to survival but also carries pathogens that impact all animals in and around the Manombo Special Reserve. How is the changing climate impacting this critical resource?
