The Climate Impact Lab launches the Adaptation Inventory, a tool that highlights policies & programs from around the world that have enhanced #ClimateResilience. Explore ➡️ bit.ly/49nFTVp

As large swaths of the US and Europe face a series of heat waves, they offer a postcard from the future: our latest research shows heat deaths will rise, making it critical to find ways to keep people cool. Explore the data: impactlab.org/news-insights/…

On the International Day of the Tropics, we recognize the extraordinary human and ecological diversity of tropical regions 🌴, as well as the choices societies face in shaping more resilient futures. For many coastal and island communities, sea level rise is already reshaping development prospects, from livelihoods and infrastructure to safety, mobility and well-being 🌊. Human Climate Horizons helps make these risks visible through localized data, supporting better decisions for futures where people and planet can thrive together 🌍.

🌱 Healthy land is the foundation of livelihoods, resilience and human development. New data from Human Climate Horizons, a collaboration between the Human Development Report Office (@HDRUNDP) and the Climate Impact Lab (@impact_lab), show that climate change could significantly reduce agricultural productivity across the globe. The latest HCH data show that more than 90 percent of assessed countries (161 out of 176) are projected to see declines in staple-crop yields by the end of the century, even after accounting for farmers’ observed adaptation efforts. The greatest risks fall on countries least able to adapt, threatening livelihoods, economic opportunities and development gains. On the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, these findings are a reminder that climate action is also human development action.

Nigeria's @GlobaltvNG recently dove into the Climate Impact Lab’s latest #adaptation research. Watch host @UbongAndyUsoro and environmental columnist and advocate Greg Odogwu break down what the findings mean for the country. 🌍👇 Watch here ➡️ impactlab.org/news-insights/…

New book chapter on international trade & #ClimateChange by @Farid__Farrokhi, Samuel Kortum & Ishan Nath examines how trade policy can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, help countries adapt & shape the diffusion of green technologies. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/3PEDRKD

“By the standards of the last several millennia, sea levels are now rising extraordinarily fast.” On our podcast Shocked, @AmyAHarder talks with Bob Kopp of @impact_lab on how accelerating #SeaLevelRise is reshaping coastal communities. Tune in: lnk.to/shockedpodcast…

Northern #Africa, the Middle East & Southwest #Asia are projected to see the greatest increases in deaths from rising temperatures. Many countries do not have the resources to adapt to #ClimateChange. Targeted #adaptation investments can save lives. ➡️ bit.ly/3PwRsTK

Climate change is projected to increase premature deaths due to heatwaves and more than 90 per cent of them are slated to occur in low- and middle-income countries, according to a new report from the Climate Impact Lab downtoearth.org.in/climate-change…

As global temperatures continue to rise due to the burning of fossil fuels, Pakistan is projected to see a net increase in mortality of 51 deaths per 100,000 people by 2050. dawn.com/news/1985198/p…

According to a new report, 90% of deaths caused by rising temperatures are projected to occur in low- and middle-income countries time.com/article/2026/0…

Hotter world, hungrier futures: India among most vulnerable large economies to food insecurity as global temperatures rise A new study warns rising heat could deepen food insecurity, with falling scores, fragile food systems and widening inequality putting millions at risk. 🖋️ @shagun__k downtoearth.org.in/food/hotter-wo…

As temperatures rise around the world, so will deaths related to heat. How individual countries fare will depend as much on wealth as on climate bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

90% of deaths caused by ⬆️ temps are projected to occur in low-and middle-income countries, largely because they don’t have the resources to adapt. Findings underscore that targeted #adaptation investments can save lives. #ClimateAdaptation roadmap: bit.ly/3PwRsTK

Climate Change is Projected to Cause Ten Times More People to Die in Poor Countries Than Rich Countries @impact_lab #ClimateChange #mortality @EPIC_India @UChiEnergy eng.ruralvoice.in/international/…

#ClimateChange is projected to cause 10x more deaths in low-and middle-income countries than in rich ones, says our new report.🌍 By pinpointing risks where adaptation investments would be most beneficial, we provide a #ClimateAdaptation roadmap. ➡️bit.ly/4t3HSpR

Spotlighting our new Executive Director Genevieve Maricle 🎊 With nearly two decades of climate & development experience, she’s leading the Lab’s mission to deliver data-driven #adaptation strategies where they’re needed most. impactlab.org/news-insights/…

We can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings! Learn more: impactlab.org/news-insights/… 6/6

Genevieve is well positioned for the role, joining our Lab after nearly two decades working at the nexus of climate and development policy at the White House, @USAID, U.S. Mission to the United Nations, and @World_Wildlife. 5/6

We are pleased to announce that the Climate Impact Lab is entering a new chapter: launching an expanded mission to identify where #ClimateAdaptation is most needed & what investments will deliver the greatest benefits + welcoming Genevieve Maricle as Executive Director. 🧵 1/6
