@HeadUNDRR @ASteiner @RHughJackson @UNDRR In the https://t.co/iPgFx1fYfQ countries & stakeholders make bold, transformative recommendations for how risk is treated in: the global financial system & capital; governance & decision-making; understanding risk, ......to prevent & reduce risks before they manifest as shocks

We are at the midpoint of the #SendaiFramework, and countries are now taking stock of their progress.

A pathway for change is critical, for 2030 and beyond. Is the world on track to reduce #DisasterRisk? Read the countries' reports here: 👉https://t.co/oqklT27mE5

As the EU revisits and updates its climate adaptation strategy, policy-makers must consider the risks of cross-border impacts. #SytemicRisk

The risks we face are existential. We know we must change our relationship with risk, restore our relationship w/ nature, revisit what & how we value. In 2023 the UN General Assembly will discuss renovations to risk governance & risk management. Contribute https://t.co/fUASSQZMp4

Be humble. Be teachable. The universe is bigger than your view of the universe. There's always room for a new idea. Humility is necessary for growth. 🧠

[RADIX: Radical Interpretations of Disasters @DisastersRadix]

The Disaster Studies Accord calls for a change in HOW we research disasters. It requires us to stop assuming the role of "expert" as part of research on local conditions outside of our own culture. How does this apply to research with, for and by children and youth? /1

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres accused global powers of hubris in the face of coronavirus vaccine inequalities, the climate crisis, and ‘billionaires joyriding to space while millions go hungry on Earth’ https://t.co/G6KkLiaeD7

As COP 26 approaches, remember that with existing policies we are headed for 2.9 degrees of heating, which could displace 1.5 billion people, wipe out 30-50% of species, and render much of our planet uninhabitable. The status quo is a death march.

[Max Roser @MaxCRoser]

The Economist journalists updated their a model of the true death toll of the pandemic, corrected for underreporting.

They come to the conclusion that 15.2 million have died, more than 3-times the official toll of 4.6m.

This map shows the distribution of the death rate.

I'm excited to announce that we have a new article in Nature Energy today. This is an important piece, and we agonized over every sentence. It's behind a paywall, but you can get a free PDF here, and a short thread follows: https://t.co/hJfgvBPHtj https://t.co/kjZ15UOXvc
