Noticed your favourite fruits getting pricier? Veggie prices swinging? It’s not random. Farming depends on stable weather, predictable rain and manageable heat. As climate patterns shift, yields fall and harvests become uncertain. When farming is unpredictable, prices are too
Think climate change just means hotter days? Think again.
When the planet warms, the whole water system goes into overdrive. Warmer air holds more moisture — so when it rains, it often pours. Short, intense downpours can overwhelm roads, drains, and rivers in minutes.
At the same time, warmer oceans power stronger storms, bringing heavier rain and bigger storm surges. And rising sea levels mean coastal areas flood more easily — sometimes even during normal tides.
More heat doesn’t just mean more sweat.
Social justice grows when inclusion is strengthened. This #WorldDayOfSocialJustice, the focus is on empowering people and bridging gaps in access, opportunity, and participation. Inclusive systems help ensure that everyone can live with dignity, benefit from development, and contribute to society. Building a fairer future begins by leaving no one behind. #EmpoweringInclusion #BridgingGaps #InclusiveSocieties #EquityForAll #SocialJustice
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that trap heat from the sun. This natural “greenhouse effect” keeps Earth warm enough for life.
The problem begins when human activities — like burning coal, oil, and gas, cutting forests, and running industries — add too much of these gases, especially carbon dioxide and methane. The heat-trapping blanket gets thicker, so more warmth stays on the planet instead of escaping into space.
The result? Rising temperatures, changing rainfall, stronger storms, stressed ecosystems, and growing risks to food, water, health, and cities.
As temperatures rise, people and ecosystems must adjust to new conditions, from changing crops to storing food differently. #Adaptation helps us cope with impacts, while #mitigation reduces emissions to prevent future warming. Both are essential to living with #ClimateChange

#ClimateChange is increasing #floods, #heatwaves, and extreme weather, putting people’s homes, safety, and livelihoods at risk. While some can adapt and stay safe, vulnerable communities often face the greatest impacts, showing how climate change affects all living beings unequally.

Rising seas may seem distant, but #GlobalWarming heats oceans and melts ice, pushing water levels higher. As coasts flood and habitats disappear, recognising how warming drives #SeaLevelRise is essential for protecting communities and planning for a changing climate.

Electricity is often seen as clean at the switch, but generating power from coal involves mining and burning fossil fuels that release greenhouse gases. Recognising where our power comes from is essential for cutting emissions and choosing cleaner, greener #RenewableEnergy.
#Deforestation and resource extraction are often viewed as necessary for development, but strong scientific evidence shows these human activities release greenhouse gases and disrupt ecosystems. Recognising this impact is essential for reducing emissions and protecting the Earth.
