The USA has been hit by two ferocious hurricanes in the past two weeks – and our updates include examinations of the factors that contributed to their destructive power. We also have some worrying analysis: of the state of planetary health, and of the dearth of pre-arranged crisis financing.
But we also have some inspiring solutions for you: an app to monitor flooding in real time; a review of the cost-effectiveness of nature-based solutions; a look at how traditional Navajo methods are helping restore a parched landscape. Finally we invite you to review UNDRR's upcoming Words Into Action Guide, on the interface between science, policy, and society.

Researcher Classicist HUMANIST AND ECOLOGIST
5 个月Nature is unpredictable and knows how to protect itself from increasing unstoppable pollution caused by humans. Moreover, it is relentless despite its unspeakable beauty. I not only wonder about what kind of planet are the next generations, or the kids growing at the moment going to live on but also about our parents' generation. According to surveys in forty years half of the population will not have easy access to the water. I am worried about unexpectable weather phenomena and thankful to Navao methods, utilities, technologies and apps, or synchronous strategies that can prevent, or restore catastrophes and planetary health.
