Flooding, drought and wildfires are becoming more common due to climate change. What can we learn from Indigenous ways of adapting to disasters? Dr. Fazeeha Azmi (University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka) and #myTRU Dr. Bala Nikku from the Faculty of Education and Social Work are working together on this critical issue in their SSHRC-funded research project.

Traditional practices are building resilience in the face of climate change.

Drought is a threat to the #biodiversity on which we all depend. 🏜🌾 According to the IPBES #LandDegradation Report, land degradation increases flood risks. 🌊 So, how can nature help us tackle natural disasters? ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/djfQ2bjd EU Environment and Climate

World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2024 Every year, on 17th June, World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought is celebrated to create awareness about the diminishing land cover on Earth. As per the UN, Desertification, land degradation, and drought are among the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, with up to 40% of all land area worldwide already considered degraded. The theme of this year & World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought is - & 'United for Land. Our Legacy. Our Future'. Healthy land not only provides us with almost 95% of our food but so much more. Growing populations coupled with unsustainable production and consumption patterns fuel the demand for natural resources, putting excessive pressure on land to the point of degradation.
