Water and climate action in conflict settings | PhD Candidate @UTwente | Technical Adviser @RCClimate 💧🕊

[Katie Peters @MsKatiePeters]

As @Needs_conf gets underway, @LauraERPeters @rodmenaf, @schillju & I get ready to disentangle #disasters in conflict settings. How? By
* taking a critical lens to the 'fragile' state
* unearthing disaster-conflict causal mechanisms
* learning from operational experience

[Juliane Schillinger @schillju]

With increasing global warming, losses and damages related to #climate change become more likely, while the window for effective adaptation is closing.

Joining the marathon reading of #IPCCreport at @UTwente today, organized by @sciforfuture_NL: https://t.co/Ed69aSXSRy

#EEF2023 panel on environment in protracted conflict with @UNEP @PAXforpeace @IISD_news @ELIORG. We have gotten better at documenting environmental impacts over the past decade. The next challenge: understanding how these env. damages exacerbate vulnerabilities to #climate crisis

[IFRC @ifrc]

Local communities are key players in water action.

Today we launched a new initiative together with the @RodeKruis @UNDRR, and @WMO : ‘’Water at the Heart of Climate Action’’ will work to minimize water related disasters. Read more here: https://t.co/WFhY60dS41

Happy #WorldWaterDay from the Environment and Emergencies Forum #EEF2023!
We can't address conflicts, peacebuilding, development, disaster preparedness without the environment (incl #water), which is central to the resilience of communities. @EnvironmentOcha

.@ICRCPresident: Human life and dignity need to be protected throughout humanitarian crises.
Also highlighted the @ICRC progress on integrating #climate into their humanitarian operations, which is done in collaboration with @RCClimate.

[Juliane Schillinger @schillju]

At #europeanhumanitarianforum #EHF2023 this week for @RCClimate. Good to see lots of attention to how #climate exacerbates humanitarian needs around the world - humanitarian action needs to reach those most in need and most vulnerable to climate change.
Some highlights so far 🧵

[Juliane Schillinger @schillju]

.@UNReliefChief: Humanitarian action needs to address compound crises of conflict, climate, economic decline, environmental degradation. Humanitarian actors cannot do this alone, we need to work with those outside of the humanitarian sector and listen to local communities.

@ICRCPresident @ICRC @eu_echo @JanezLenarcic @JosepBorrellF @UNReliefChief @eu_eeas @dotsenko_maksym @RedCrossUkraine @ifrc @AnticipationHub @kdsiahaan @IFRC_DREF @UNmigration .@RCClimate’s @schillju at #EHF2023 on expanding anticipatory action: “Conflict-affected communities are among the most vulnerable to climate-related disasters & responding in those settings is difficult. With #AnticipatoryAction, we can mitigate many of these disasters.”

[Climate Centre @RCClimate]

This year's round table on #climate & #security in The Hague y, hosted by @MercyCorps_NL in partnership with @FanackMENA, hears that 'the more fragile a country is, the less climate finance, including for #adaptation & #resilience, it gets' - https://t.co/HOo6f25T87

[Catalina Jaime. @catalinajaime.bsky.social @CatalinaJaime2]

We are delighted to contribute to these dialogues, with @mercycorps, building on the leadership in this topic by our partners @ifrc and @ICRC . Check out these two key resources in case you have not seeing them yet 💫 https://t.co/ppaD9dGZmL and https://t.co/rJGYy2vgY7

Many impacts on utilities in Ukraine match what we found in the Middle East:
🏚️Destruction
⚡️Breakdown of electricity
🧰Limited access to materials
💰Loss of financial self-sufficiency
👩‍🔧Lack of staff
🌿Pollution from untreated sewage

Excellent webinar by @TheWilsonCenter & @USWP yesterday, with first-hand updates on the situation of #water utilities in #Ukraine from Lviv. Infrastructure damage is a major challenge, but it is by far not the only one.

[New Security Beat @NewSecurityBeat]

LIVE NOW | Russia’s war in #Ukraine has devastated the country’s water and sanitation infrastructure. Join @TheWilsonCenter and @USWP for a discussion on better understanding the enormous costs of #Russia’s attacks on civilian infrastructure.

@KlimaVorAcht ...oder wie man da beim WDR zu sagen würde: doch ein sehr klares Meinungsbild 🤦‍♀️

[Juliane Schillinger @schillju]

@biosec_erc @WildCrimePro @detoxconflict @patrickmbigger Adding a link to the @milemissionsgap project here, with lots of resources on military emissions and their climate impacts in one place.

[Juliane Schillinger @schillju]

@WildCrimePro 'Witnessing the Environmental Impacts of War' (https://t.co/Yp254y4d5g) provides an overview of the work by a number of relevant organizations, incl. @PAXforpeace @detoxconflict @ZoiEnvironment & others.

@GreenSolitaire Can't miss @RebekaRyvola's art work on a wide range of climate-related issues. Excellent recent example is the 'Temperature tapestry,' visualizing climate risks and humanitarian impacts over the past decades: https://t.co/eKMFL0aWLE

[Catalina Jaime. @catalinajaime.bsky.social @CatalinaJaime2]

Among the many epic things today at #UR22 London, this was our Risk-art display, it builds on all the work we have done this year about compound risks, when climate, conflict, displacement etc collide. Txs @RebekaRyvola @RCClimate @AnticipationHub @UnderstandRisk

Climate change doesn't stop when it's below zero outside, and neither do we! 💪
#Climate march at @UTwente, organized by #Students4Future Enschede, calling for #ClimateJustice & demanding that the university cuts ties with the fossil fuel industry (most notably #Shell)
