Heartwarming citizen science & history story from the dark days of Covid lockdown.

From exploring experiences of displacement, to exhibitions on gender inequality, Butros Nicola brings us a feature on Juba’s Baobab House, a beloved cultural institution promoting a new generation of South Sudanese creatives.

It was a real privilege to join @timokelder.bsky.social and an incredible group of researchers for this piece in @naturecomms.bsky.social ! 🌻 Our key message: We can and should stop being surprised by unprecedented weather ⛈️ 🖇️ You can read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-57450-0 🔽

New perspective article by Kelder et al. explores methods to anticipate unprecedented #weather events and highlights the role of transformative, incremental, and reactive #adaptation strategies to achieve enhanced #resilience. @stichtingcas.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to have been part of this perspective, led by @timokelder.bsky.social, discussing how society can build resilience to, rather than be surprised by, unprecedented weather: 💪 vs 😱 Includes a review of methods to anticipate events, and discussion on adaptation practice and disaster management.

Floods can happen anywhere and at any time. Here’s how you can be ready: ⚠️ Know the risks 🌧️ Monitor local weather ☎️ Talk to your municipality and insurer 🧳 Have an emergency plan and kit 📍Know and practice evacuation routes

How to stop being surprised by unprecedented weather? Transformative adaptation, foundation for long-term resilience, supported by incremental adaptation through upgrading existing infrastructure, and reactive adaptation - early action and disaster response. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Enjoyed being involved in this new perspective led by @timokelder.bsky.social, where we show the value of using multiple lines of evidence to assess plausible yet unprecedented extreme events that we need to be preparing for 🌍🌧️🌀🌡️

What do we do with this information? More transformative adaptation in advance to ensure greater resilience means less reactive adaptation required when the unprecedented event occurs.

The question isn’t IF climate change is making extreme weather worse—it’s how much. Science can put a number on how many more homes flood, how much more rain a hurricane dumps, how much larger wildfires grow--and how much worse it will get if we don't act now. More by @frediotto.bsky.social & I:

The most deadly hurricane in US history was the one they had no warning of - the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. So this is good news from @drjeffmasters.bsky.social. Warnings save lives!

Prof @hancloke.bsky.social will speak about the challenge of preventing floods in a changing climate, of making the forecasts more useful and what we can do individually to protect ourselves. #FestivalofTomorrow #flooding

The USAID-funded Famine Early Warning System Network is critical for monitoring and predicting acute food insecurity globally, the impact of it going offline will be enormous, even outside of USAID-funded activities. www.devex.com/news/usaid-f...

The world needs more girls and #WomenInScience! Today is #WomenInScience Day, a reminder that women and girls play a critical role in science. At the IFRC, we are proud to have extraordinary women across the Red Cross and Red Crescent network working and innovating for humanitarian action.

⚠️ Vital early warning systems at work across NI & Scotland tonight as we track Storm Éowyn 🚨 These Red warnings are critically important for us to understand and monitor. Stay safe & follow updates from @metoffice.bsky.social and your local authorities❗ weather.metoffice.gov.uk/warnings-and...
