Because #Sustainability goes a long way, a good read for the season full of insights on 🎄🌲 #ChristmasTrees

#BREAKING huge blast at #KabulAiport . اطلاعات روز | Etilaatroz journalist seen at least 11 foreign soldiers and many civilians were injured and killed.

And as I present intl #DRR case studies students have often asked me why that was relevant to their specific country in Europe: et voilà (with a few ethical issues attached to the question)

A couple of tweets and retweets about #narratives based on #history and #CC #DRR

This should be diffused worldwide NOW and explained in every single school. Lies since when I was born, to let us inherit a world with unwanted people (soon “us” for those who don’t get it) who flee man made disasters. To read entirely. #ecocide #DRR #nonaturaldisasters

😡 infuriating to say the least. This has and will continue to cost lives and livelihoods and it should certainly qualify as criminal behaviour.

I wish we could do for climate impacts what Johns Hopkins did for covid. I want to see a daily dashboard with the number of people digging out from sewage and flooding in Detroit, struggling to stay safe in Portland, buying air filters to get ready for fire season in SF.

I’m not a language expert but, as I’m reading BBC news, I can’t stop thinking that to me ‘died’ & ‘killed’ have pretty different meaning. Is this what Butler meant when she wrote about grievable lives?

My dog is into it 😂

Yes! #NatureBasedSolutions are THE resource. We keep talking about a shift of mindset, and these are the people at the core of it. Thanks for bringing this up and the recording will be out there soon.

It looks like us #DRR champions are suddenly cool...not to mention the #NoNatDisasters gang...Revenge of the nerds: Disaster risk reduction and climate change: thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2021/3… (The New Humanitarian) #NoNaturalDisasters Kevin Blanchard (he/him)

A big part of my #DRR seminars are about planning for uncertainties. Trying to apply that to myself in this #COVID19 stretch makes me even more aware of how privileged I have been and still am.

As climate change, tree losses and desertification mean farming no longer pays, women are turning to digging sand and gravel for construction to make a living in Burkina Faso

“Fixing Bias, Not Women. Imposter syndrome is especially prevalent in biased, toxic cultures that value individualism and overwork. Yet the “fix women’s imposter syndrome” narrative has persisted, decade after decade.” hbr.org/2021/02/stop-t…
