I introduced 2 colleagues to @thecontinent today. They're working on a #ClimateAtlas to assist #ClimateAdaptation in #Ghana and had not heard about the new anti-LGBTI legislation that was on its way

Thanks to #TheContinent I had - a friendly reminder that mainstream news outside #Africa is not always very broad. So give them some support...

Can you take a #ClimateService developed in one region and use it in another?

@markrpayne answered this in a Climate Coffee talk on an experimentation in climate service portability: implementing a Danish #ClimateAtlas in Ghana

I like this piece by @andrewdessler on the inequality that people face in dealing with #climateImpacts.
I'm afraid I too often say things like "we can adapt" without adding the obvious caveat "but there's going to be suffering which will overwhelmingly affect already disadvantaged groups".

The Danish #ClimateAtlas is at least an attempt to make sure everyone has the same high quality information freely available. But that doesn't mean the same capacity to act on it

DMI recently signed a memorandum with the Ghanaian met service to develop a #ClimateAtlas for #ClimateAdaptation in #Ghana.

It's sorely needed.

This is a really cool thread on how to approach changes in #risk from #Hurricanes by @hereidk - really very familiar discussion from our Danish #ClimateAtlas work.

The hard bit is not the #science it's understanding what the question actually is..
