The first 3 weeks of July have been the warmest three-week period on record, and the month is on track to be the hottest July and the hottest month on record.

Unofficial records suggest that in recent days the global average temperature was the warmest that has ever been directly measured. What does that mean? 🧵

Millions of Covid vaccines could be wasted if rich countries send large amounts of leftover doses to poorer nations in one go, Unicef has warned.

There needed to be a steady supply because poor countries do not have resources to use them all at once.

A 100-year flood does not happen only once in a century. People living in a 100-year flood plain should be prepared. Even if they were recently flooded. https://t.co/iqnoJwxbl7

NEW: it’s a while since I’ve done a big international Covid thread, but this one feels important.

The first six weeks of 2021 have gone rather well in terms of humanity’s fight against Covid.

As well as the rollout of vaccines, global cases halved(!) between Jan 11 and Feb 18

[AbyayaNeopane @abyayaneopane]

The story behind the data is arguably more important than the data itself. Or more precisely, the reason behind why we are missing certain pieces of data may be more meaningful than the data we have. 4/n

[Niroj Panta @pantaniroj]

@abyayaneopane Couldn't agree more. If we have missing pieces, chances are we get misleading information out of the data!

6 humanitarian lessons from @UNOCHA👇

- Act collectively
- Let local organisations lead
- Use funds flexibly
- Be prepared, act early
- Protect access and civilians
- Utilise technology

I would add: innovate our instruments and more humanitarian diplomacy - tackle conflicts.

What a great news to wake up to. Proud member of WFP family. #savinglives #changinglives #unwfp #NobelPrize2020

[World Food Programme @WFP]

WFP is deeply humbled to receive the 2020 #NobelPeacePrize.

This is in recognition of the work of WFP staff who put their lives on the line every day to bring food and assistance to more than 100 million hungry children, women and men across the world.

Great to see Nepal listed as one of the innovative economies in the low-income group. The global innovation index looks at a variety of factors, including R&D, ICT, and knowledge and technology outputs. @WIPO
