Deadly rainfall in Central Europe twice as likely due to our continued burning of fossil fuels - @WWAttribution study. Early warning meant deaths were avoided, but plans to strengthen flood defences have been implemented way too slowly.

Weather forecasting has come a long way.
The biggest improvements we’ve seen are for longer timeframes.
By the early 2000s, 5-day forecasts were “highly accurate” and 7-day forecasts are reaching that threshold today.

Only 12% of disaster-related aid funding was spent on disaster risk reduction, prevention, and preparedness in 2021.
Operationalising DRR in humanitarian and crisis settings is particularly challenging given each settings complex context.

1/4. At #COP28, the pledges to the #LossAndDamage Fund total only $700m or just 0.2% of the $400 billion needed each year to address #LossAndDamage. To show just how small these pledges are, here they are in comparison to the earnings of the highest paid footballers in 2023.

Horn of Africa floods, hitting people already suffering from years of drought, made 2x as intense by climate change & 2x by the Indian Dipole @WWAttribution find. IOD will come and go, until we stop burning fossil fuels, the climate signal will get worse. worldweatherattribution.org/…
