A “floating” fishing community in Cambodia faces new challenges due to climate change.
Sending their kids to school becomes more difficult, even physically.
An NGO explains how they’re investing to make sure these kids can go to school.

“The rescinded plan had committed the Navy to reducing its overall emissions by 65% by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. ... Scientists have said rising sea levels, recurrent flooding and more frequent and destructive hurricanes result from man-made climate change and are a particular challenge for the Navy.” 🤬

Successful #EAGruMo project meeting at @tubraunschweig!
This week the project partners from Braunschweig, @TU_Clausthal & #ostfaliasuderburg exchanged the latest progress:
Hydrological modeling
Multi-sensor system
Water quality monitoring
Data management
The meeting concluded with a tour of the #lwitubs hydraulic engineering hall.
Interdisciplinary research on the reuse of historic mining infrastructure for modern water management.
More than half of European cities have climate adaptation plans. Local action is leading the way. #ClimateAdaptation #UrbanResilience
Europe adapts better to cold than heat, study finds. Cold-related deaths decrease faster than heat-related ones. #ClimateAdaptation #PublicHealth

If our climate was stationary - the insurance market would be stationary too.

"Last year, heat waves forced millions of children in the #Philippines out of #school. It was the first time that soaring temperatures had caused widespread class suspensions, prompting a series of changes.
This school year started two months earlier than usual, so the term ends before peak heat in May. Classes have been rearranged to keep children out of the midday heat, and schools are equipped with fans and water stations."

LOOK AT THIS CHART!
The #EU #solar produced 271 TWh, #wind produced 484 TWh, in 2024. And that is without the UK's ever-expanding wind generation.
Congratulations to members of the #UE, you are an inspiration to the world.

Climate adaptation in Africa:
“Robust seawalls…Weather analytics and early-warning systems…Regenerative farming techniques…Nature-based solutions for restoring wetlands and woodlands…
This resilience dividend is real. It would be even greater if funding for climate adaptation matched Africa’s needs.”

📷 Snapshot Seychelles No. 7
Encroaching seas are a constant threat along the coasts. Traditionally, houses in the Seychelles are therefore built on stilts. But in recent days, more and more responsibility is transferred to government, replacing many of the traditional practices and individual initiatives to improve resilience, reports climate adaptation expert Beate Ratter.
Here is a webinar from Munich Re, one of the largest global re-insurance companies.
Ever heard about 'secondary perils'? Well, now you will, because climate change is increasing the impacts of secondary perils, which in turn, increases the losses incurred by re-insurers.

Dr @TomSparks_Law
& Dr. Lucas Sanchez from @JustAccessOrg break down a groundbreaking legal action on #ClimateAdaptation & #ChildrensRights challenging 🇩🇪 Germany’s failure to protect children from the impacts of climate change.

This year's gardening gambit: establishing grapevines, in hopes that they will be resistant to future heatwaves (at least for a little while). They seem to be able to grow in Fresno... so thinking that will be a plus here near the California coast, even with increasing heatwave conditions. #gardening #California #heatwaves #climateadaptation
England: 4.6million properties are at risk of surface water flooding, through rainfall.
This is climate change, but also just paving over too much surface, and having limited drainage capacity.
Too much drainage capacity, like the Netherlands, can be bad too: NL now suffers droughts, so we need more *natural* storage capacity, not just flush water to the sea ASAP.
