"If we look at these tipping points, continuing CO2 emissions is connected to driving up risk in many different areas, so addressing this will logically reduce our risk in many different areas." – @DrJackOConnor, from @UNUEHS ✍️ @Cat_Early76 reports https://t.co/9FGZ8g0PS2

A nice conversation with @NickGBreeze for the @ClimateGENN podcast around the new #InterconnectedRisks report. We need to redesign our way of thinking if we want a less risky future. 🌍

Great coverage @ActisAndres, the increasingly catastrophic damage due to events like Hurricane Otis is threatening the persistence of safety nets when we need them the most, and we need to reduce the level of risk we are facing worldwide right now. #InterconnectedRisks 🌍
El 80% de los hoteles de Acapulco sufrieron daños por el paso del huracán Otis. Las pólizas están desembolsando cifra récord por la crisis climática. El "futuro no asegurable" es un punto de inflexión de riesgo para el sistema del que se habla muy poco. HILO 🧵

The concept of risk tipping points is in line with our warnings that countries are accumulating #InterconnectedRisks, beyond their ability to adapt. We call on countries to invest in solutions that prevent these risks from triggering disasters. @UNUEHS ➡️ https://t.co/MBE68F7dBn
