Epic delay at @TurkishAirlines @igairport. Passengers stranded sans water and food with delays and cancellations at gates. Hoping to fly into Astana tonight in time for planned site visits to see climate action implemented on the ground.

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 ?

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.

The Northern Atlantic Ocean is heating up so rapidly that it is literally, nearly off the charts. Pay heed. This is well beyond record-breaking.

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
