According to a report from the Climate Council and the Emergency Leaders for Climate Action (ELCA): “We are now living through a rapid intensification of climate-fuelled disasters. Emergency services and governments worldwide are already being periodically overwhelmed by the increasing frequency, intensity and destructiveness of climate-fuelled disasters, and this will continue to worsen until we stabilise temperatures. If we are to have any hope of successfully coping, all adaptation and resilience efforts must sit alongside urgent efforts to reduce climate pollution further and faster this decade.”
Uki featured as a case study in the report, and it makes for interesting reading.
The full report includes the five priorities for communities identified by ELCA.
