Great to see this reporting by Nyima Sillah - one of the West African journalists trained on extreme heat journalism by Climate Resilience for All - on how ever-hotter conditions are hitting both the health and incomes of market women in The Gambia #extremeheat #journalism

Wow! Great extreme heat and health conference in last week by the University of Copenhagen School of Public Health and the Copenhagen Center for Disaster Research. Thanks for letting me add my two cents worth too....

Planning a trip to your favorite U.S. national park this year? Good luck if you need the bathroom, medical help, a place to stay there or anything else. Turns out federal employees are useful

It was fantastic being in Freetown for the launch of the city’s pioneering heat action plan and seeing parts of it already at work - from Congo market to Ojuku’s mangroves - alongside Yvonne Ali-Sawyerr and Eugenia Kargbo @kbmcleod.bsky.social #Africa #extremeheat #women

What a pleasure training a really smart group of West African journalists today on fast-worsening heat risks - and what can be done about them #extremeheat #resilience

The first African Urban Heat Summit happens this week in Freetown - looking forward to being part of it #extremeheat #Africa

“The heat is too extreme now, it suffocates us. We cannot sell in the markets without shelter.” Across Africa, extreme heat is growing increasingly deadly. The good news? Freetown this week becomes the first African city to launch a formal plan to deal with that threat #Africa #extremeheat #women

How much demand is there to better understand growing extreme heat risk? Our upcoming training to help journalists better report on it had 683 applicants #extremeheat #journalism #WestAfrica

This is such a useful piece. As the climate and the world grow more uncertain, it's useful to think ahead and prepare for the unexpected, whether that's a solar panel or two to make your own power, a bit of stored food and water, or just getting to know the neighbours

Guess what? We didn't pass 1.5C in 2024. We're passing 1.6C @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social @theguardian.com #climate

As Australian summers get ever hotter and heat becomes more dangerous, it's time to rethink how we portray it visually in the news media and move away from people frolicking at the beach. Here's some guidance on how to do that! Please share... #Australia #heatwave #extremeheat

Thanks, @edhawkins.org! Too much red - and brown! - at the end of that London progression

"In what ways does (Phoenix) continue a tradition of marketing the sun and heat, even once they have become unbearable? How can it continue, in a sense, to 'sell'?" A fantastic hugely visual and readable look at a baking city #extremeheat #climatechange #Phoenix

"Vulnerability primarily stems from the dysfunction of key institutions” - Abdihakim Ainte, director of climate change for Somalia’s prime minister @odi.global @icrc.bsky.social #COP29 #Africa #resilience

Not far off, this cartoon from @iied.bsky.social and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre

“The adaptation window is closing, and countries affected by conflict and fragility can easily reach their limits, if they’re not already there. The question is, who actually pays the cost of doing nothing?” #COP29 #climate #adaptation @odi.global

Extreme heat is deadly. Time to rethink how we portray it visually in the news.... #heatwave #climate #health #journalism

I had a great time teaching this terrific group of international investigative journalists about climate change - and extreme heat risk - for the Global Investigative Journalism Network and the iMEdD - incubator for Media Education and Development. Can't wait to see the work that results!

It's a dark today in London - and on some other social media platforms! - so time for some BlueSky. Delighted to be here
