"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."

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.

Expect to see an increasing amount of this sort of thing over the coming years. Especially “Aorta do something”.
Loads of #flooding near us in the UK today, which has reminded me of this article from @TheConversationClimate about why we should all install waterbutts at home!
A small change a lot of us can make that will impact our collective #ClimateResilience
The #ClimateEmergency is here, and we need to be looking for ways to help our local communities wiith #ClimateAdaptation
A ‘doom loop’ of climate change and geopolitical instability is beginning

Tool adjustments to support #ClimateAdaptation in urban planning for southern cities: The case of Greater #Tunis, Tunisia

Today is Publication Day for this amazing book - I contributed a *tiny* bit - most of the work was done by Rupert Read, Morgan Philips and, of course Maddy Harland and the amazing team at Permaculture Magazine who publish books as Permanent Publications.
This is how we change the world - but letting go of our old beliefs and stepping into the possibility of change...

Zooming into this (present day) worst case scenario for a storm surge in #Copenhagen to check if I'm going to become proud owner of a beach front property...
Nice work from my DMI #NCKF colleagues on how to plan for #seaLevelRise and #ClimateAdaptation
The hidden structure that makes modern life bearable. And indeed possible.
And how to #climateproof it from Copenhagen's utility on managing urban sewers at DMI's #NCKF symposium today
This is what #ClimateAdaptation looks like.
So, the government isn't at fault… and the insurance probably won't pay out, either ("force majeure" event, I guess). Poor people.
Surely, the government's failing climate adaptation plan is at least partly at fault?
Hope they'll appeal.
Arctic Seed Vault Shows the Flawed Logic of #ClimateAdaptation
Difficulties of #Svalbard #seed repository illustrate why we need to prevent #climate disaster rather than plan for it
The seed vault embeds a conceit common to many adaptation plans: we know what we are facing, so if we plan well, things will go well. Given the state of action (or inaction) on #climatechage, we don’t have to ask whether Arctic warming and permafrost loss will escalate. It is a near certainty.

Great article by Bob Henson/Yale Climate Connections
Is the idea of a “climate haven” under water?
As Helene tragically showed, even places semi-shielded from heat and drought can fall prey to intensifying downpours and disastrous floods.
