#ClimateResilience means anticipating, preventing, absorbing, and recovering from shocks caused by #ClimateChange. It’s about #AfricanCities strengthening their essential response structures and functions. #Resilience4Africa

#OceanDecade24 acted as a platform for the global ocean community to reinforce existing partnerships and foster new ones.
Here is an overview of the key announcements made during the 2024 #OceanDecade Conference to deliver the science we need for the ocean we want 👇

The ocean is not only the cradle of life, it holds the keys to an equitable and sustainable future. See what Dr @KateLStrachan has to say at the @UNOceanDecade Conference satellite event #ForNature

#PsychologicalResilience should be defined, not merely as an individual trait but a community-wide asset, crucial for building adaptive, resilient, and thriving communities.

Global average sea surface temperatures typically peak in March.
Yet, in 2023, @CopernicusECMWF and @CopernicusEU data showed they reached a record high of 20.96°C on 31 July 🌡️
This is the largest temperature anomaly for any July on record.

To say that global temperatures in July have been exceptional is an understatement. The monthly is on track to shatter the prior July record by a massive margin, be the warmest month in terms of both absolute temperatures and anomalies.

BREAKING: June 2023 has blown away all prior records for the month of June, coming in at a staggering 0.16C above the prior record set in 2019.
It was around 1.46C above the typical temperatures we saw in June in the preindustrial era (1850-1899).
