Thank you @wmata for a painless experience. My father now has a senior card and this is going to make his first visit to America very special! @Rainassance is born on the 4th of July so we had to do a national Mall photoshoot.

The nextgentech solution being proposed for climate resilient infrastructure - painting large buildings, warehouses and infra WHITE, to keep them cool. Wonder how this stacks up against natural sustainable materials like clay and bamboo @aaraman ?

Great initiative @nikmccaren , you're inspirational! More power to you in your quest to nurture the next generation of young #uzbeki professionals and solve some of the biggest environmental challenges of modern time.
It was such a pleasure to present the Aral Dream initiatives to a wonderful team from the @WorldBank who fights against the consequences of climate change and poverty. I look forward to working together for the prosperity of Karakalpakstan and the people of the region.

New @OECD report "Taming Wildfires in the Context of Climate Change" gives an incisive account of what #climate change means for #wildfire risk, and how policies can confront the issue. https://t.co/8IH3skP0Fo Proud to see that our review proved so useful to the report 👇
🔥 Trends and drivers of #fire under #climate change 🔥 THREAD on our #review paper, out today! Climate change is a *push factor* for fire risk globally - on local/regional scales, humans can either *push with* or *pull against* the new challenges. https://t.co/RaQogPKFcH
