Climate change is driving more frequent and intense wildfires, impacting once safe regions. It's vital for businesses and communities to understand how to prepare, respond, and recover. Understand the risks ➡️ https://lnkd.in/edRnmi27 #ClimateRisks #ExtremeWeather

Climate change will not just create weather and climatological risks and impacts, it will also create direct and secondary impacts on society and economies. The time to start planning is now, to enable your organization to adapt in advance of possible disruption... https://lnkd.in/e7bNJEaQ #climateresilience

Extreme temperatures, wildfires, water and food shortages, floods, droughts...climate change is starting to hurt isn't it. It's starting to hurt both in human cost and economic cost. This recent TED talk from Johan Rockstrom is a must-watch for anybody keen to understand the current state of play. Rockstrom gives a clear, evidence-based update to explain why we are where we are, and is clear on how we can avoid catastrophic tipping points. I say it's a 'must watch' because those tipping points may be far closer than most people realise. What's super-clear is that we absolutely MUST keep within the remaining carbon budget. And at the current rate of emissions that means we have five years. Just let that sink in; FIVE years. The window is rapidly closing, but leading scientists believe there IS still a window. We have reached a pivotal point and need to make a rapid and radical transition away from fossil fuels and building a cleaner, greener, fairer future. We have the solutions, and we need to implement them. Please look, learn, and act. #Environment #TippingPoints #UrgentAction #CleanerGreenerFairer #Climate

▪︎ Up for a challenge? ▪︎ 💡Here's an idea for sparking a conversation about #climatechange at your next get together with friends or family. Can you try to come up with something that isn't affected by climate change? Make it into a friendly game to see what ideas are shared and if a connection to climate change can be made. Winter activities are easy to add to the list of what is affected. So is food production and intensification of storms. Are you up for the challenge of finding something to add to the list of what is not affected? #FactsConnectionAction #TheCarbonAlmanac

Today, I came across some concerning news. Yesterday, January 4th, marked the first day this season that the temperature dropped to -5 degrees in southern Ontario. Typically, this occurs much earlier in the year, around mid-late November. This is a clear indication of the effects of climate change, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer. It's time for us all to take responsibility and do our part to slow down the climate crisis. #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatesolutions
