Communicating the climate crisis in South Asia 🌍

[Rizolve @rizolve_earth]

South Asia, while hosting about 25% of the world's total population, is vastly underrepresented in the global climate discourse.

We need to change this. 🌍 #climatecrisis

[Donna Lu @donnadlu]

It is frankly terrifying that one third of Pakistan is underwater, China is experiencing its worst drought in record, as are the olive-producing regions of southern Spain, and we’re currently only at 1.2C of warming.

Dear World,
52 people died & over 2500 homes washed away due to flash floods in Sudan in North Africa. Just keep watching because it's in global south.

And your leaders and global media will not tell this.

"Meat production has two kinds of global heating impact: its climate current account, which means the gases released by farming animals; and its climate capital account, which means the carbon dioxide the land could absorb if it were rewilded."

This is so important to think about! #climatecrisis

There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”.

This is known as the Shifting Baseline Syndrome. 🧵

[Extinction Rebellion Global @ExtinctionR]

This isn't the 'new normal' for the climate.

Because until emissions are at zero it will definitely continue to worsen.

Tell me you don't get the climate emergency without telling me you don't get the climate emergency

@vanessa_vash Absolutely!

This was our #rizolvereads recommendation for the month of July! Incredibly written and very informative! #fungi

[Rizolve @rizolve_earth]

Great news! 🇵🇰

A through huge, nationally coordinated effort, #Pakistan has increased its #Mangrove coverage area three-fold in less than three decades!

Mangroves are among the most productive & diverse carbon storing ecosystems! This is a big win for climate in South Asia!

By most accounting, more people die every day from air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels than have ever died from all accidents in the history of nuclear power.

Main street Kathmandu, today.
Street flooding has worsened significantly in the last decade.

Here’s why: ClimateChange making rain bursts more intense, combined with total disregard for basic urban planning norms across Nepal, while country urbanizing in fastest rate ever.

[Rizolve @rizolve_earth]

Rainwater is no longer safe to drink anywhere but not all have access to safe drinking water filters. Those that are already marginalized continue to face heightened health risks around the world.

We need #ClimateJustice.

This year the UK has seen the hottest heat wave in hundreds of years. This morning, a drought was declared across England.

We are in a real #ClimateEmergency.

🐘 Happy #WorldElephantDay!

Despite years of conservation efforts and awareness initiatives, the illegal hunting/poaching of elephants is still a major environmental, ecological, and moral crisis across the world. Learn more here: https://t.co/VPEqIXfGLs

Fact check here. If the story is about the first airport to be run entirely on #renewableenergy, #Cochin airport (very much in #India) is considered world's first #solar-powered airport; and may well be on its way to becoming power-positive.
