The safety of the Rohingya refugees during this monsoon season is priority one. As many as 200,000 need to be relocated. We cannot allow the monsoons to wash away the hopes of the Rohingya refugees I met today in Bangladesh.

The largest, fastest refugee influx in decades, in multi-hazard disaster context: the Rohingya refugee crisis in Cox's Bazar is uniquely challenging. It's when experts like Marina center people and their needs in their work, we get a #riskinformed response unhcr.org/news/videos/20…

The Bangladesh Academy for Climate Services is officially launched! Thanks to everyone who came despite road blockades, to founding partners IRI ICCCAD CIMMYT and BMD, and to IRI/CU colleagues @Nachiketa84 and Sarah Wilkin! Stay tuned!

Exciting Learning Hub event on the Bangladesh Academy for Climate Services at the Planning Commission. Great discussion on how to improve the use of climate services in government agencies to reach national goals and SDGs Saleemul Huq @Nachiketa84 Sarah Wilkin IRI

The second day starts with the participatory activity on timescales with specific sectoral question! #BACS ICCCAD Saleemul Huq Mélody Braun Timothy J. Krupnik

Constance Okolett is a farmer and community activist. On #DCDays2018 closing panel, when asked from the plenary floor what her village would do with 100,000 Euros of direct climate finance, she described the transformation resulting from 5,000 USD they received last year.

Thanks Katiuscia Fara and looking forward to working more with you on this!

I was feeling so proud when Dr. Saleemul Huq was reporting back on the progress activities of "Bangladesh Academy on Climate Services" in the Gobeshona platform. #gobeshona5 #BACS ICCCAD IRI CIMMYT #BMD

Our session on the Bangladesh Academy for Climate Services (BACS) at #Gobeshona5 is starting, with six participants from our last training sharing how they are increasing the use of climate information in their activities. ICCCAD CIMMYT @BMD IRI

Disturbing and disappointing to see #ECO banned from COP this year. Got something to hide?

Eric Holthaus And #CycloneAmphan is the focus of a new network of media & scientists, from Odisha to Bangladesh to the @earthinstitute & Earth Journalism Network, helping boost preparedness & resilience even as #covid19 hinders evacuations. #compoundrisk pscp.tv/w/1MYxNkgXXpZKw

Thanks Andrew Revkin 🌎 ✍🏼 🪕 ☮️ for the great discussion, and some new thoughts for BACS to consider. Including local journalism networks in capacity building efforts on the use of climate information is a win win. ICCCAD CIMMYT BMD

Adam Sobel David Wallace-Wells There is no need to overstate the power of #AmphanCyclone because the big story is the scary *vulnerability* in the surge and inland-flooding danger zones - amplified by the spread of #covid19 in the most exposed populations.

The world should hear this sound to know it means EVACUATION to a proper facility NOT to a bamboo and plasticsheet hut.... António Guterres UN Relief Chief For 5y humanitarians raised this problem and now is upon them, my heart wishes for a miracle that will not come.

Yes, we will demand that. The discussion on the name of #LossAndDamage Fund started at the last Transitional Committee meeting in Aswan. I'm in Abu Dhabi for the next meeting, 3-4 Nov., and will raise it here.

Voici la dernière menace pour les enfants rohingyas se trouvant à Cox's Bazar, le plus grand camp de réfugiés au monde. #PrisPourCible
