Und das bei 1.3C Erwärmung. Das Risiko wird noch deutlich steigen, wenn wir 1.5C überschreiten sollten. Hier die Publikation mit meinem Climate Analytics Kollegen Fahad Saeed iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

4/ A 2021 study by Fahad Saeed & @CarlSchleussnerIf warned of "substantial heat related risks during #Hajj & Umrah" If the world warms by 2C we should expect to see "A 10X increase in the heat stroke risk at higher wet-bulb temperatures" in the region iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Need for green transition to limit global warming is made evident by this year's #Hajj tragedy with 900+ heat related deaths. Fahad Saeed states that reactive adaptation measures alone won't be enough. Strong adherence to #mitigation goals is crucial while enhancing adaptation.

Our COO Mariam S. Khan presents insights into the key climatic risks affecting the Upper #Indus Basin and Islamabad alongside urban adaptation strategies designed by BUUR part of Sweco Belgium and modelled by VITO at the PROVIDE General Assembly. #Adaptation

Our study on heat stress and the Hajj finds limiting warming to 1.5°C would halve the number of heat-related deaths during the pilgrimage to Mecca compared with 2°C of warming," writes climate scientist Fahad Saeed in our latest blog. climateanalytics.org/comment/hajj-i…

"Pakistan is already facing extreme impacts at 1.3°C warming", warns #adaptation expert Mariam S. Khan Decision making requires scientific insights into climatic impacts & unavoidable risks, which are now offered by PROVIDE Climate Risk Dashboard. youtube.com/watch?v=GUjgob…

I am sharing the findings of a rapid attribution analysis, where I had the opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers to assess how human-induced climate change has increased the likelihood & intensity of extreme rainfall, causing devastation in Nepal in late Sept. 1/3

With global #climatefinance needs estimated in trillions, developed & emerging economies must unite to fund the climate priorities of the developing world. Safeguarding multilateralism is crucial to address this polycrisis. - Fahad Saeed at SDPI panel discussion for CF

“We have seen that the $100 billion goal was not sufficient," Fahad Saeed told Al Jazeera PR. "Not only the amount but also the quality of the support that was provided.” aljazeera.com/program/inside…

Key findings from the World Meteorological Organization latest report State of the Climate 2024: Planetary warming reaches 1.3°C at present, the past decade being the warmest in 175 years of observational records. Repercussions around the world necessitate science backed policy & #ClimateActionNow #COP29

As #NCQG negotiations at #COP29 unfold, quality of finance must also be dwelled upon! What lessons from the $100B target can steer NCQG toward more impactful, accountable #ClimateFinance? Read in our latest blog by Khadija wenclims.org/ncqg-the-quest…

Fahad Saeed speaks at the #COP29 Pakistan Pavilion session on 'Integrating science into judicial decision making-the role of courts in navigating complex climate data'. Insightful discussions with esteemed panelists Adil Najam  Abid Qaiyum Suleri

"Science has been central to guiding the UNFCCC process, a role it must also play in driving real support for developing countries via the Loss and Damage Finance Facility," says our expert Fahad Saeed at a Pakistan Pavilion event on science and judicial decision-making.

At USAID🇵🇰event Together We Build, Mariam S. Khan as panelist talks about maximizing existing resources: Retrofitting community spaces e.g. 🕌against climatic threats to serve as communal shelters. Collab b/w academia & policy to develop science base for planning infrastructure

Pakistan is on the frontline of the climate crisis, with temps pushing the limits of human survival. Deaths are going underreported, and the situation is worsened by inadequate planning and reliance on fossil fuels. Read the latest from Fahad Saeed: climateanalytics.org/comment/pakist…

“The 1.5°C limit is not a symbolic benchmark – it is the enduring and legally significant temperature goal of the Paris Agreement” Fahad Saeed said at #SB62 press conference we held yesterday with Greenpeace International at #SB62. unfccc.int/event/greenpea…

"The 1.5°C limit was established to avoid the most dangerous impacts of climate change and in that sense was set as an ethical and moral limit", Fahad Saeed said. "It remains central to guiding global climate action and is grounded in robust scientific evidence.”
