In 2023, the world has seen multiple hottest months on record, with cities especially feeling the heat.🔥🌡️ @leniomyrivili warns of its impact on the most marginalized, highlighting the vital role of nature-based solutions for cities to build resilience to extreme heat.

How do we know humans are responsible for #climatechange? IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report shows that the dominant role of humans in driving recent climate change is clear. This is based on a synthesis of information from multiple lines of evidence. ➡️ bit.ly/AR6WGI3

Which of these have you used today? #PlasticFreeJuly

It’s #PlasticFreeJuly. The UN’s @unep states that 400 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced every year and Plastic Oceans @plasticoceans states that 10 million tonnes is dumped into the ocean every year. Get involved this year by reducing your plastic use!
