Asad Naqvi, Director of the Economic and Societal Transformation Division of @unbiodiversity.bsky.social, and Clarissa Nina (Brazil), Chair of #SBI7, speak about the importance of the meeting, which opened on 4 August, ten weeks before the start of #COP17Armenia.
One of the clearest descriptions of climate dynamics for laypeople that you’ll ever hear: “It will inevitably get worse. It will get worse and worse and worse.”
This isn't the new normal. It's just the beginning
This summer’s disasters appear to have boosted climate multilateralism, at least within Europe, and underscored the need to tackle fossil fuels. But we may not be waiting long for the scientists' “wor...

I express my solidarity with Spain in the current situation of illegal migration in Ceuta.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the brave 🇵🇹 🇨🇿 🇮🇹 🇬🇷 🇸🇪 🇭🇷 🇩🇪 🇸🇰 🇹🇷 teams deployed to France and Spain to fight the blaze. This is solidarity at its best, from the EU and beyond. The courage and dedication of these firefighters is a reminder that when we stand together, we are stronger.

Wildfire risks are projected to increase over 88% of the planet’s fire-prone area—pretty much everywhere that is not a desert or an ice sheet. The world needs to prepare
Europe’s fires are just the start
They are not a new normal. But worse can nonetheless be expected

Scientists warned you about: ♨️ more/longer/hotter heatwaves (hot planet=hot weather) 🌀 stronger storms (warm water=hurricane food) 🌧️ downpours (warm air holds more water vapor) 🌵 droughts (warm air is thirstier) 🔥 fire weather (hotter, drier) 🌊 sea level rise (land ice melts, warm water expands)

You see everything is connected. The marine heatwaves off the coasts of Europe make heatwaves on land more intense, which in turn dries out vegetation, which then creates perfect fire weather conditions. Brought to you by the world's refusal to drastically reduce the burning of fossil fuels.

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Wildfires in Spain are being devastating these weeks. The third heatwave of the year is fuelling virulent fires across the country while national emergency has been declared in certain ones. All my thoughts with those affected as well as the emergency professionals involved in the extinction works.
