Latest #UnitedInScience report shows climate impacts heading into uncharted territories of destruction. Yet each year we double-down on our fossil fuel addiction. I urge leaders to heed the facts of this report & turn pledges into #ClimateAction.

Without much more ambitious action, the impacts of #ClimateChange will be increasingly devastating. Read the new #UnitedinScience report with input from UNEP, @wmo, @wcrp_climate, @undrr, @gcarbonproject, @metoffice & @uccrn: bit.ly/3QBlxwd

Dr. Christian Braneon says that "the key to community engagement is simply putting yourself in the community’s shoes. That is to say, one needs to take the necessary steps to see things from the community’s perspective." #WaterWire @columbiaclimate @UCCRN waterfrontalliance.org/2022/…

The evidence is clear: the time for action is now. We can halve emissions by 2030. The #IPCC has just released its latest #ClimateReport on the mitigation of #climatechange. Press Release ➡️ bit.ly/WGIIIpr22 Read the report ➡️ bit.ly/WGIIIRpt

If we are to curb greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the effects of #climatechange, we should take #cities into account. 🏙bit.ly/2R1ZguK Cities need adequate urban planning and cost-effective initiatives to address their challenges and reduce emissions. Learn more!

@UCCRN strategic meeting at the Roosevelt House, we discussed how to translate our publication Second Assessment Report on Climate Change and Cities (Available now at uccrn.org/arc3-2/ ) into action within the next 3 to 5 years.

We are so grateful to have our strategic meeting at the Roosevelt House in NYC with our Regional Hub Directors from around the world this evening. Some of the greatest minds in #climatechange resilience and #urbanplanning are in this room!

At the @UN #ClimateActionSummit, reminded of the #LeadershipPipeline. Top of mind for this room full of #leaders of leaders: How can we encourage people to have helpful #behavior change?’ All of us can #learn from these leaders to be more focused on #behavioralscience.

Comedy & climate? Yes! Listen to @chucknicecomic at @UN after @UCCRN scientists & mayors set strategies for building climate-resilient cities: "You're building a supercar" for climate action "in a basement." Entertainment can carry that to the public. #UNClimateActionSummit

"We need to have new science-city relationships. Not just one-off projects, but with each project, we learn. That’s why @BonnGlobal Mayor and @ICLEI’s 10-year project is so important. These long-term partnerships with science underlying is what we need."-@UCCRN Cynthia Rosenzweig

I'm here at #UNGA with a team of experts from @UNHABITAT to promote actionable urban solutions for #ClimateAction. Cities must also increase climate adaptation while putting the most vulnerable first. Our initiative does this bit.ly/2lWL0HQ #LeaveNoOneBehind #GlobalGoals
