This is how agricultural drones are helping make deserts fertile. 🛸🌱🌱 In Mauritania 🇲🇷, the FAO is introducing innovative solutions – like agricultural drones to seed for land restoration. This technology allows small communities to restore larger areas in less time.

🌊Landslide-triggered tsunamis can hit with little warning. In Alaska, @CIRESnews & @CUBoulder used shipborne GNSS data to detect one in real time—revealing a new tool for local tsunami early warning. This could be a breakthrough for early warnings. 📖 https://t.co/vDfHq86RrD

🔥 2024 temps broke records – but weren’t a shock. A 1.52°C rise above pre-industrial levels, mostly driven by us.🌡️ Emissions remain high, oceans are heating, seas rising faster. That means more extremes – and smarter risk reduction is essential. ➡️ https://t.co/P4tJgrNBRd
