[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

Current policies make it likely that #globalwarming will exceed 1.5°C during the 21st century & make it harder to limit warming below 2°C.

#IPCC's Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action.

I debated whether to share this. I did apologize on the air. But I invite you to read my introspection on @BulletinAtomic of how extreme weather 📈 driven by global warming has changed me. Frankly, YOU should be shaken too, and demand #ClimateActionNow. https://t.co/09vxgabSmX

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

#IPCC #ClimateReport shows heatwaves in Europe will become more frequent, more intense & will last longer.

By 2050, about half of the European population may be exposed to high or very high risk of heat stress during summer.

What I'm seeing on my home island, Carriacou, must not become humanity's new normal.

If governments everywhere don’t step up, 8 billion people will be facing this blunt force trauma head on, on a continuous basis.

We need climate action back at the top of political agendas.

#WorldMetDay

This week @WMO confirmed that 2023 was the warmest year on record.

#IPCC’s Synthesis Report shows the extent to which current & future generations will experience a hotter & different world depends on choices now & in the near term.

World's first year-long breach of key 1.5C #GlobalWarming limit

"Look what's happened this year with only 1.5C - we've seen floods, we've seen droughts, we've seen heatwaves and #wildfires all over the world"

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Today’s financial architecture is outdated, dysfunctional & unfair.

It favours the rich countries that designed it nearly 80 years ago.

We must keep working for deep reforms to make financial institutions and frameworks truly universal and inclusive.

[United Nations @UN]

“I am deeply concerned about clear violations of international humanitarian law that we are witnessing.”

— @antonioguterres on the unfolding catastrophe in the Middle East. https://t.co/MVIrrfwKf7

[WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean @WHOEMRO]

.@WHO condemns the attacks on 3 November near Al-Shifa Hospital, Al-Quds Hospital, and the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza City and North Gaza governorates.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I was encouraged by what seemed to be a growing consensus for the need of at least a humanitarian pause in the Middle East.

Regrettably, instead I was surprised by an unprecedented escalation of bombardments, undermining humanitarian objectives.

This situation must be reversed.

[David Bressan @David_Bressan]

Hundreds of tremors, with the strongest being a 4.2-magnitude #earthquake, have shaken the #CampiFlegrei, the only European #supervolcano with a (geologically) recent #eruption and now a densely populated area west of the Italian city of #Naples🌋

Greek Government, 10/9/2023: "Does it make sense for a state to prepare for a phenomenon that happens once in 400 years?"

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

This is why climate change is not "linear" — why it's not a slope, but a series of cliffs.

NYC infrastructure is designed to handle about 1.75 in of rain per hour.

Today's rain averaged about 2 in.

Only 1/4 inch, that tiny increment, overwhelmed most of the system.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

What lies ahead for the communities levelled by Morocco’s earthquake on September 8?

Al Jazeera's @StefanieDekker brings us to the Atlas Mountains to witness the devastation ⤵️

Happy to see the local #socialties activating to help #MauiFire survivors and community
“There’s no government agency helping us — this is it,” said Jareth Lumlung, a Hawaiian who helped arrange the donation hub. “This is our home, our community.”
