Another week means another timely update from the peerless PreventionWeb editors.
In this issue we have some encouraging developments from the realm of resilience – like farmers in Yemen benefitting from sustainable irrigation systems; and scientists using glacier speed to gauge volcanic volatility. Also an update on how innovative technologies are helping advance progress in providing global early warning system coverage; and how the tourism industry and health systems can stay safe in the face of rising climate risks.
We also identify some problems waiting to be solved: a troubling forecast for the future of children; observations on the rapidly melting glaciers; a study showing most countries identify food security and biodiversity loss as major risks; and the impacts of climate change on our health.
Get the latest news, publications, articles, and blogs from the DRR community – on PreventionWeb.
