As temperatures rise, people and ecosystems must adjust to new conditions, from changing crops to storing food differently. #Adaptation helps us cope with impacts, while #mitigation reduces emissions to prevent future warming. Both are essential to living with #ClimateChange
/*-->*/ /*-->*/ /*-->*/
#ClimateChange is increasing #floods, #heatwaves, and extreme weather, putting people’s homes, safety, and livelihoods at risk. While some can adapt and stay safe, vulnerable communities often face the greatest impacts, showing how climate change affects all living beings unequally.

Rising seas may seem distant, but #GlobalWarming heats oceans and melts ice, pushing water levels higher. As coasts flood and habitats disappear, recognising how warming drives #SeaLevelRise is essential for protecting communities and planning for a changing climate.

Electricity is often seen as clean at the switch, but generating power from coal involves mining and burning fossil fuels that release greenhouse gases. Recognising where our power comes from is essential for cutting emissions and choosing cleaner, greener #RenewableEnergy.
#Deforestation and resource extraction are often viewed as necessary for development, but strong scientific evidence shows these human activities release greenhouse gases and disrupt ecosystems. Recognising this impact is essential for reducing emissions and protecting the Earth.
Some say #GlobalWarming is overstated and wrongly linked to natural disasters, but strong scientific evidence shows it is real, driven by human activity, and intensifying extreme weather. Accepting this reality is essential for protecting communities and building resilience.
Human rights cover our everyday essentials: the right to breathe clean air, access safe water, live with dignity, and have a voice in the decisions that shape our lives. This #HumanRightsDay, let’s recognise that protecting the planet, ensuring justice, and upholding accountability are all part of protecting human rights.
#FossilFuels contain carbon stored deep within Earth’s history & burning them releases gases that intensify the #GreenhouseEffect. Reducing our dependence on these fuels and transitioning to #RenewableEnergy is essential for stabilising global temperatures & safeguarding the future.
The plastic pollution crisis is threatening our health and our planet.
As leaders meet in Nairobi for #UNEA, let’s remind them: there’s no planetary resilience without tackling plastic pollution.
We need a global instrument to regulate plastics that truly protects people and the planet.
