At the launch of Belgium's 1st Climate Risk Assessment by @CERAC_BS, @UNEP's Veronika Hunt Safrankova praised Belgium for setting the example.
She linked findings to UNEP’s #AdaptationGap Report 2025: both call for urgent, just, data-driven action & highlight a major finance gap.

ALT Quote from UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres: "Adaptation is not a cost - it is a lifeline. Closing the adaptation gap is how we protect lives, deliver climate justice, and build a safer, more sustainable world. Let us not waste another moment." To the back an image of a large mountain by the sea.

Sliding into second place on the overconsumption leaderboard… Luxembourg! 🇱🇺 Small country, BIG footprint. If everyone lived like the residents of #Luxembourg, #EarthOvershootDay would land on February 17—meaning we'd need more than 7 Earths to keep up.

#Globalwarming of 1.1°C has resulted in more frequent & more intense extreme weather events that have caused dangerous impacts on nature & people worldwide.
Every increment of warming results in rapidly escalating hazards.
#IPCC's Synthesis Report 👉 bit.ly/SRYRpt23
Devestating wildfires as in #LosAngeles unlikely in short term in #Belgium but with current #climate projections, incl. more #heatwaves & #droughts, it is not impossible in longer term. @CERAC_BE is working with National geographic Institute to better assess these future risks.
