Germany made headlines as one of the top contributors to the Adaptation Fund at COP23. Learn more about the global impacts the Fund has made. #EmoryCOP23 https://t.co/5hBDWeDs75

Cyclone Winston hit Fiji early last year. Learn more about what the country has done to build resiliency against climate change. #EmoryCOP23 https://t.co/2cdUKbKq4D

Loss and Damage discussions at COP23 stall as specificity is "absent" from the program #EmoryCOP23 https://t.co/o7NfoSQwjT

Our reliance on oceans demands our attention to aid in its deteriorating health #EmoryCOP23 https://t.co/rVHJyI5qU3

The first historic agreement on Agriculture was reached at COP23. Read more on my blog! #EmoryCOP23 https://t.co/R7Wu8Uw1F3

A mixed forest is capable of storing more carbon in the event of mild weather fluctuations, but extreme weather events (brought about by climate change) undermine this capacity #EmoryCOP23 https://t.co/1jv0qIpFKi

@NoBackupPlanet @smh Tourism groups should plan coral reef tours in such a way to both give visitors a memorable visit and raise awareness of coral reef bleaching.

[Rachel Loh @rachellohps96]

@zBerger924 Completely agree! It's like an unfinished story which only mentions the causes but fails to talk about aftermaths.

[Rachel Loh @rachellohps96]

@balotin_lauren Astounded by how much food waste contributes to emissions, being the third highest emitter in the world behind China and the U.S.!

[Rachel Loh @rachellohps96]

Linked to global warming, water shortages are causing food shortages in Mali, inducing more conflict to the violence-ridden area as groups struggle to survive with scarce resources. #EmoryCOP23 https://t.co/U9IqXmE85i

[Rachel Loh @rachellohps96]

@NoBackupPlanet Most may mistakenly associate the step with the most machinery involved with the highest emissions produced. Thus, it's important to understand that the most energy intensive process involved with making bread comes from growing wheat to identify efficient mitigating strategies.

[Rachel Loh @rachellohps96]

@zBerger924 Unfortunate to see that one of the primary agents in the world that can actually create impactful, sustainable strategies towards mitigating climate change is doing otherwise. #onestepforwardtwostepsback

"We need a strong public health message that communicates the link between what we eat and our own health and that of the planet." #foodandclimatechange #EmoryCOP23 #ourmostdebatedtopicinclass

@NoBackupPlanet By destroying their main source of livelihood, natural disasters are a contributing factor to how families, who were previously doing well, fall into poverty.

[Rachel Loh @rachellohps96]

Only 54% of Americans know that climate change is human caused. However, this rate is steadily increasing as citizens are starting to associate climate change with extreme weather events. #EmoryCOP23 https://t.co/IOSkrhogbo

[Rachel Loh @rachellohps96]

@balotin_lauren As one of the major food businesses, M&Ms serves as a pioneer for other multinational corporations to focus more attention on corporate sustainability.

[Rachel Loh @rachellohps96]

@LyuYezi Green reforms are intricately tied to public interests, a change in one will undoubtedly affect the other. It will be interesting to see how Britain shapes a green politics that acknowledges social justice.

[Rachel Loh @rachellohps96]

@LyuYezi More light is shed on the severity of climate change as it takes center stage, gaining "equal footing with other complex challenges affecting the public finances such as demography".

[Rachel Loh @rachellohps96]

Educated Republicans are less concerned about climate change. For them, political identity matters more than education, despite the mounting evidence about #GlobalWarming and its impacts . #EmoryCOP23 https://t.co/EUFUMfe496
