#Flooding is one of the most threatening risks resulting from climate change. Careful planning and working with nature could bring this appalling figure down.

🇪🇺 Europe is the fastest warming continent in the world. The @euenvironment's climate risk assessment finds that many risks have already reached critical levels and could become catastrophic without urgent and decisive action.

A hotter world means greater disaster risk - for all life on the plant. We need to invest in resilience and limit warming!

During climate-related disasters, women and girls face a higher risk of migration, exposure to sexual or gender-based violence and illness.

This is a stern reminder that disasters do discriminate.

Journalists play a key role in helping educate people and political leaders about the real nature of disasters and their causes. Through its training, UNDRR supports media professionals to promote public consciousness of the crucial need for #DRR .

Last month it was Financial Times not taking the UNDRR message about urging us to stop talking about “Natural Disasters” serious, now it is a shame to see The Guardian still using this outdated and incorrect terminology.

Worth resurfacing regularly. Vulnerability - the core driver of climate and other disaster losses - is mostly a societal choice. open.substack.com/pub/revkin/p/b… #NoNaturalDisasters #nonaturaldisasters

¿Por qué seguimos llamando desastre natural a lo que es una crisis climática causada por nosotros?

Frustrating to see UNDRR fighting for 2024 to be the year of putting an end to the term “natural disasters”, yet @UN are clearly ignoring this vital change in language!

❗We need to shift the focus of risk assessments from single hazards to better understand the vulnerability and exposure of communities. The Report of the Midterm Review of the #SendaiFramework shows how it can be done ➡️ ow.ly/tK7w50Oq4yK

As UNDRR urged us to stop talking about “Natural Disasters”, it is a shame to see Financial Times still using this outdated and incorrect terminology.

Hey United Nations let's rethink our language around disasters. They're not 'natural' when human actions and preparedness can prevent or mitigate their impact. Time for a paradigm shift in our approach to create a safer, more resilient world. #NoNaturalDisasters

❗Disasters are becoming ever more devastating.

#ClimateChange drives this dramatic increase.
