India is already experiencing a warming climate. Frequent, extreme heatwaves may hit the west coast and southern India, impacting agriculture. Urban planners must act to tackle "heat-islands." 🌍 #ClimateAction @usaid_india

Climate change is deepening gender health inequalities, with women in low-income communities bearing the brunt. In India, rapid environmental shifts put women at greater risk of health impacts from rising emissions and extreme weather. 🌱 @usaid_india #ClimateAction

In 2023, over half a trillion work hours were lost globally due to heat exposure—a stark reminder of the impact of climate change on health, productivity, and livelihoods. It’s time we prioritize climate action and protect our communities. #ClimateAction @usaid_india @moefcc

🌍 Today's Word - Feedback Loops Climate feedback loops are changes that trigger cycles, amplifying or stabilizing impacts. Why it matters? These loops can push us toward tipping points—irreversible and severe changes in the climate. #Youth4ClimateHealth @usaid_india

Greenhouse gas levels surged to a new record in 2023, committing the planet to rising temperatures for years to come. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is accumulating in the atmosphere faster than at any time in human history. Details from @WMO: wmo.int/news/media-cen…

Heatwaves driven by climate change threaten India's progress towards the SDGs. Without proper heat impact assessments, public health, food security, and lives are at greater risk. It's time to take action to protect vulnerable communities! @usaid_india #ClimateAction

The latest @WMO greenhouse gas bulletin shows CO₂ at a staggering 66%, with CH₄ (methane) following at 16%. Through the SACH initiative, we're advancing climate-health solutions to tackle these emissions and drive real #ClimateAction 🌏 @usaid_india @moefcc @MoHFW_INDIA @UNEP
UN Environment Programme@UNEP

As global leaders prepare to gather at #COP29 in Baku next month, @WMO greenhouse gas bulletin indicates that greenhouse gases have hit a record high once again. Urgent #ClimateAction now. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…

From increased air pollution and deadly diseases to extreme heat, children face higher health risks than adults. They are more prone to respiratory issues, dehydration, and heat-related illnesses. Protecting our planet means safeguarding our children’s health.💚 @usaid_india

Climate change may worsen waterborne diseases as it impacts water quality and increases the frequency of natural disasters. Contaminated water could lead to a rise in diseases like cholera and typhoid. It's crucial we tackle this growing health challenge! 💧 @usaid_india

Climate Jargon Explained! Today’s Term: Carbon Footprint🌍 A “carbon footprint” is the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by a person, organization, or activity. Larger footprints = more emissions. Want to help reduce it? Join the #Youth4ClimateHealth Challenge! @usaid_india

Climate action update! A 43% emission reduction by 2030 is crucial, but current plans aim for just 2.6%. The #Youth4ClimateHealth campaign empowers young voices to drive climate-health solutions and help cities adapt. Let's act now! 🌍 #ClimateAction @usaid_india @MoHFW_INDIA
UN Climate Change@UNFCCC

NDC synthesis report in a nutshell: ⚠2.6%: Emission reduction 2019-2030 per current plans ✅43%: Emission reduction needed by 2030 to avert climate chaos We need MUCH bolder new national climate plans from every country due next year. More: bit.ly/4fj0I5n

Climate change can be overwhelming, so let’s break down a term! Today’s Term: Carbon Sink Think of them as the planet's "vacuum cleaners," pulling carbon from the atmosphere to help fight climate change. Want to dive deeper? Join the #Youth4ClimateHealth Challenge! @usaid_india
