Some big #ClimateAction news for Queensland, Australia today. A landmark case for #ClimateJustice and #HumanRights.
'[Ms Kingham] told the court the mine unjustifiably limited the right to life, cultural rights of First Nations peoples, the rights of children, the rights to property, privacy and home and the right to enjoy human rights equally.'
No surprises in today's State of the #Climate 2022 report for #australia
It is getting hotter, we are having fewer frosts, fire danger is growing, the reef is bleaching, the seas are rising, and expect more time in drought.

An #Australian perspective on #COP27 from Nikki Hutley.
"[...] there is a huge cognitive dissonance between this message of hope and opportunity in [Australia's] new-found climate cred and the reality of our fossil fuel sector and the ongoing public support for new coal, oil and gas projects, including billions of dollars in subsidies."
Cities are at the forefront of #ClimateChange action.

#DisastersAreNotNatural #NoNaturalDisasters (so we avoid the phrases #NaturalDisaster #NaturalDisasters) #vulnerability #resilience #SendaiFramework #Switch2Sendai #SFDRR #DRR #DisasterRisk #DisasterRiskReduction #disaster #cop27 #cop27egypt
This article reviews climate change within the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR), analyzing how climate change is mentioned in the framework’s text and the potential implications for dealing with climate change within the context of disaster risk reduction. Three main categories are examined. First, climate change affecting disaster risk and disasters, demonstrating too much emphasis on the single hazard driver and diminisher of climate change. Second, cross-sectoral approaches, for which the SFDRR treads carefully, thereby unfortunately entrenching artificial differences and divisions, although appropriately offering plenty of support to other sectors from disaster risk reduction. Third, implementation, for which climate change plays a suitable role without being overbearing, but for which other hazard influencers should have been treated similarly. Overall, the mentions of climate change within the SFDRR put too much emphasis on the hazard part of disaster risk. Instead, within the context of the three global sustainable development processes that seek agreements in 2015, climate change could have been used to further support an all-vulnerabilities and all-resiliences approach. That could be achieved by placing climate change adaptation as one subset within disaster risk reduction and climate change mitigation as one subset within sustainable development.
