As devastating wildfires intensify across North America, fueled by a warming climate, #IndigenousLands are disproportionately affected, amid over 28,000 fires burning more than 4.5 million acres in the U.S. alone this year. The isolated nature of these communities complicates aid access, stressing the pressing need for immediate and uncompromising #ClimateJustice and relentless aid efforts. #ClimateCrisis #IndigenousRights https://lnkd.in/ejVsRqBa

https://lnkd.in/gffEeakE Climate change comes with cascading effects. In Western Canada and the US they have experienced long periods of drought over the past several years. It has led to massive fires that caused extreme damage, loss of life, destruction of wildlife and wildlife habitats, destruction of homes and property, further possibility of illness, etc. In western Canada over 100 wildfires remain active now - and they faced an unprecedented fire season last year. They are experiencing drought conditions right now, some severe, that will likely bring the start to an early spring fire season and the possibility of even more fires with more severe consequences. The infrastructure is not sufficient to fight these fires and the worsening weather conditions make them more difficult to fight. If we continue to face the consequences of climate change with a disaster recovery approach choosing not to mitigate or reduce the effects, it will continue to get worse and cost more not just in dollars but in lives. A healthy planet is profitable for everyone. #HPRT #wecaretorepair

💔 Our hearts go out to the community members and animals affected by the devastating wildfires in Jasper, AB, and across Western Canada. 🔥Sadly, wildfires are escalating worldwide due to the effects of climate change. Just today, the UN's Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, shared that 2.4 billion people are now at high risk from extreme heat, including life-threatening heatwaves and rising temperatures, which are contributing to increased wildfires. In fact, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were the hottest recorded days on Earth. We must take collective action to help those most affected and invest in sustainable energy sources. 🔗 We encourage pet guardians to prepare for emergencies and evacuations.

Full of the images of Brazil's sorrows, I needed to put something into writing about the floods there. My fear: will we even remember the great floods of 2024 in a century?

Wildfires are expected to increase in number and intensity. How can we best prepare, and how can we quickly restore landscapes after a fire? These are existential questions for many rural communities. Thanks 1t.org US Chapter for taking on this topic!

Unfortunately, the northern regions of the US and Canada are being struck by catastrophes, with wildfires affecting many areas. We hope that nobody gets hurt and that everyone is able to find shelter during these challenging times. Sometimes, we forget that climate change impacts both our planet and humanity. We should all work to combat it in order to prevent further victims and safeguard the future of our home. https://lnkd.in/gu-AGC8h #extreme #climate #climatechange #News #Canada #US #planet
