The latest #IPCC report finds that many effects of #climatechange are now irreversible. Whilst contributing least to the problem, the world’s poorest populations are most at risk.

#Afghanistan is already feeling the devastating effects of climate losses and damages.

The current humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan has been made far worse by a devastating drought in 2021 - the worst seen in the country for almost 3 decades - and many other climate-related disasters that have plagued the country in recent years.

Keeping the global rise in temperatures to 1.5 degrees has never been more important. However, as some impacts of the #climatecrisis are now irreversible, #adaptation is also more vital than ever before.

We build local capacity to identify & manage risks: from tree planting & soil revitalisation to building irrigation systems & flood defences, our disaster risk reduction techniques have transformed many peoples’ lives, including Haji Nasruldeen's: bit.ly/3thTmsI

Now, we urge the international community to find ways to alleviate the effects their countries’ emissions are having on populations such as Afghanistan's. We must avoid the destruction a 2-degree temperature rise would create & protect our planet for generations to come 🌍💚
