A lot of bad in Kijabe Forest area, massive mudslides and increasing danger to communities. Roads are blocked by debris.

#1 was the main flood on Apr 29th with further mudslide today.

Last evening 2,3, and 5 slid. New pool at 4.

Last image is of RR station under mud.

What happens when forests are too vast to monitor? AI happens!

This paper, by colleagues, focuses on one factor neglected in climate change science-evidence generation. If we don't measure what is changing, how fast, and where it is happening most, we almost can not support our narrative.

Great sharing the advances we have made in risk analysis and early warning systems at the UN Climate Change TEC event in fostering transformative technologies.

Congratulations Mubarak Mabuya. This is great a positive move at @igadsecretariat and looking forward to advance working together!

Celebrating Africa Day with this majestic image of the continent from Meteosat Third Gen. 1 satellite. Long live resilience and new prosperity to her.

The media plays a key role in #anticipatoryaction to magnify early warning messages and keep actors to account. If scientists in the region interlink with media, then the warnings get to actors in time. Early action need early dissemination of warnings.

Truth is with climate change and an increase in pests, we cannot afford to ignore the institutions that will be called upon to save our crops. Food systems approach. Mwesigwa Moses Rwaheru

With an El nino prediction towards the end of 2023, with it comes the likelihood of Transboundary Pests upsurges, & will they find the region better prepared? ICPAC partnering with DLCO-EA to enhance preparedness, early warning and effective control.

Eager to co-develop and utilize higher level products. Better resolution data(time, space, radiometric, and spectral) from MTG means better nowcasting and reducing weather-related economic risks, translating to improved information to users in Africa.🛰 🌍 ⏱️⛈️🌦☀️🌀🌾🌱🦗

Watch this space for Multi-Pest Early Warning Systems. DLCO-EA are working over their resources on control yet their planes engines have not been switched off last 5 years due to the big flocks of Quelea in Et, Ke, Tz, Sud & SSudan consuming sorghum, wheat, Teff, millet.

Cool! Cooperation and collaboration firmly embossed.

ℹ️ Passionate plea at #COP27 from our DRM Regional Coordinator Dr.Ahmed Amdihun for more investment in early warning and anticipatory action.

“Early warning saves lives. Simple. But if countries do not have the capacity to respond to crisis, early warning counts for nothing...' 1/2

📣 #climate justice is one of the biggest issues at the talks. Developing countries are bearing the brunt of the damage to the #climate while rich countries have failed to live up to their promises to cut #emissions and to provide finance to help the poor with climate breakdown.

🗨️ “We are on a highway to hell with our foot on the accelerator”. Strong words from the UN Sec. Gen. at #COP27 , echoed by Mia Amor Mottley launched a blistering attack on rich nations and warned of a billion refugees by 2050 unless govts act now to tackle the #climatecrisis .

Proud moment for IGAD and the AU. Viva to the processes that end suffering and restore human dignity. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
