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.

Mapping changes in temperature across the UK for every year from 1884 to 2024. Very obvious trend to warmer conditions across the UK in recent decades. Data: HadUK-Grid from @metoffice.bsky.social #smallmultiples #dataviz

141 maps of the UK, one for each year from 1884 to 2024, coloured by the temperature in that year. Trend to warmer temperatures (darker reds) is very evident.

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

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 conceptual adaptation pyramid illustrates how three layers of adaptation contribute to resilience to unprecedented weather. (a) An unstable pyramid: with little transformative actions, we increase our reliance on incremental adaptation and place a lot of emphasis on handling unprecedented weather through early warning, early action and disaster response. (b) A stable pyramid: with more emphasis on transformative actions, we may be able to prevent limits to incremental adaptation, and have to place less emphasis on reactive actions.

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 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...

USAID-funded famine early warning system goes offline due to aid freeze

A key food insecurity data tool used by humanitarian groups worldwide has been taken down due to the Trump administration's stop-work order on USAID, raising alarm among aid workers.

⚠️ 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...

This screenshot from the UK Met Office shows a map of Northern Ireland and Scotland's Central Belt under a "Red" warning for wind with advice about the dangerous conditions to expect.

This image shows the UK Met Office impact matrix, showing that a "Red" warning in the highest quadrant for both likelihood and impact.
