Safely managed water & sanitation systems reduce greenhouse gases from human waste.
Water is also crucial for clean energy generation.

The Arctic tundra has tipped over into a source of atmospheric carbon, with the region now emitting more carbon dioxide than it can store, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported last week. https://t.co/V2p8wwoOkE

[UNESCO World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) @UNESCOWWAP]

3⃣1⃣% of all global weather, climate, and water-related disasters take place in Asia 🌏, accounting for 4⃣7⃣% of deaths and 3⃣1⃣% of economic losses‼️

Initiatives like:

- Community-based #watermanagement 🤝
- Flood-resistant infrastructure🌊
- Sustainable agricultural practices 🌾

are more relevant than ever and pave the way for more resilient futures 🍀

#NowReading - #IPCC TG Data has published a paper discussing the implementation of #FAIR data principles in the IPCC process and how this can better support IPCC in its seventh cycle.

9% of the global population live in water-stressed countries. Climate change is making water more scarce and unpredictable, displacing millions of people.

Better data will help decision-makers set the priorities for #SDG6: https://t.co/h55bFriedJ

[UN-Water @UN_Water]

What is the water quality like in the lakes, rivers and aquifers in your country? How does the water quality in your region compare to others?

Share this #SDG6 message with people who can help drive progress towards #2030Agenda.

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

17 goals.
6 years to achieve them.
1 future.

Food & agriculture lie at the heart of achieving each & every one of the 17 #SDGs.

FAO is committed to help build a better future for all, learn how 👉https://t.co/ZD8cSQkqbi

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

While #Pollution and #ClimateChange impacts are severe in cities, we still have a chance to make them desirable living places.

Urban #forestry is our unsung hero, turning grey to green, slashing stress, cleaning air and water AND fighting off urban heat.

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

#IPCC's Working Group I, which assesses the physical science of #climatechange, has extended the deadline for a Head of the Science Team to support their high-impact assessment in IPCC's seventh cycle.

Deadline extended 👉 9 June 2024

#water #hydrology Looking forward to Day 2 discussions...

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

🧐 #DYK In least-developed countries & low to middle-income countries, #drought is still the single greatest cause of agricultural production loss.

What’s more, it impacts agriculture almost exclusively.
