Young people are told they will inherit the climate crisis.

Butare we preparing them for it?

In our new DINARA-WELWET article, we reflect on workshops and outreach across 3 continents and 8 countries, and what they revealed about youth, environment, One Health, climate resilience and the need for real pathways from concern to action.

Three Continents, One Question: Youth, One Health and Climate Resilience

DINARA-WELWET workshops across Europe, Africa and Asia explored what young people need to protect communities, ecosystems and health in a changing climate.

“Extreme rainfall is projected to intensify as the climate warms, yet whether the greatest increases will occur in multi-day or single-day events remains uncertain. This knowledge gap is particularly pressing given recent catastrophic floods triggered by multi-day rainfall events, prompting the question of whether multi-day events could, in fact, intensify more than their daily counterparts, and by how much. This study addresses this question using an ensemble of 34 downscaled Earth System Models under two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5), focusing on changes in extreme rainfall by the end of the century across ten regions of the contiguous United States. [Their] statistical framework evaluates model agreement, ensemble-mean changes, and the significance of these changes for both daily and multi-day rainfall extremes. Results show that extreme rainfall amounts are expected to increase for most regions and durations. The degree of intensification, however, depends strongly on event rarity and regional climate characteristics. Notably, in the U.S. western Gulf Coast region, very rare multi-day events (e.g., 500 year return period) are projected to intensify more than their daily counterparts, a phenomenon that could be explained by increased stalling of tropical cyclones, which can prolong heavy rainfall over multiple days. These results challenge the assumption that daily extremes dominate future risk and highlight the need to consider event duration when updating flood-hazard maps, design standards, and adaptation planning…”

Satellite images show mangrove forests are now expanding after decades of decline
After decades of decline from human development and extreme weather, the world's mangroves are growing again, according to a surprising new study looking at satellite images of coastal forests.

During the 2022 Lismore floods, official warnings didn't reach the people who needed them. During the Central Victorian fires, power failed and the mobile network collapsed with it. Centralised communications infrastructure fails exactly when you need it most — and we keep building more of it. New post on how LoRa mesh networks and Reticulum can build community comms that survive when everything else doesn't.

When the Grid Fails: Building Resilient Comms for a Changing Climate

In an emergency, information is as vital as water. The official advice is clear: “leave early.” But how do you act on that advice when the power is out, the mobile network is congested to the point of failure, and the emergency broadcaster’s tower has been consumed by the very fire you’re trying to flee? This isn’t a hypothetical. As Fiannuala Morgan chillingly documented in her article, “No power, no phone, no radio: why comms dropped out during the Central Victorian fires{target="_blank”}", this is the reality for communities across Australia. The wholesale replacement of resilient copper landlines with power-dependent NBN connections, coupled with the shutdown of the 3G network, has created a communications infrastructure that is dangerously brittle in the face of climate-fuelled disasters.

“Farmers stack several compact layers of aquatic weeds like water hyacinth, duckweed or paddy stubs – the stubble of what remains after the rice grain has been harvested. They are helped usually by their families and neighbours. The weeds are allowed to rot, and then mixed usually with cow dung and silt. Crop seeds are placed in small balls called tema that are made out of peat soil, and wrapped in coconut fibre.”
