Climate change impacts are hitting the Caribbean hardest ๐ŸŒŠ

The WorldPop FCDO Caribbean project delivered high-resolution population data to support better planning, stronger census systems, and more resilient communities.

Because understanding where people live is critical for protecting lives.

Record heat ๐Ÿ”ฅ has caused an early snowmelt in the West, setting the stage for a potentially brutal fire season.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Mamas, itโ€™s time to advocate for clean air filters in schools
and resilient local infrastructure.

A snowy, rainy storm is hitting California. Will it curb the coming fire risk?

This storm is the main precipitation expected in the foreseeable future. The weather pattern may allow for occasional rain, but more storms are unlikely to change the trajectory.

Plant Roots Navigate Temperature's Whims Via Internal 'Thermostat'

Scientists found plant roots have an internal thermostat using ARF proteins and auxin to adapt to changing temperatures, helping crops grow better in a changing climate.

Beavers Save a Drying Rainforest

A rainforest hit Level 5 drought. Twice.

Not a $100M pipeline. A 40-pound rodent.

Bridge Creek, OR: +168% steelhead from willow & mud.
Bow Creek, ID: wildfire stopped at the beaver dam.

Africa: Africa Is Forging Its Own Green Future: [allAfrica] Despite bearing the brunt of a climate crisis it did not create, Africa is being held back by a financial system that has long failed to meet its needs. But instead of waiting for outside solutions, African institutions are laying the groundwork for a green transition that advances both development and climate resilience. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TRkVNn #Africa #GreenFuture #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateResilience
