The world has entered a new era of ‘water bankruptcy’ with irreversible consequences | CNN Over-allocation of water, chronic groundwater depletion, pollution and climate change have pushed the world into a drastic situation, a new United Nations report finds.

We often ignore water is a closed system, and that our existing fresh water supply is tiny.

Can culture and heritage be catalysts for climate resilience? Cultural heritage and local knowledge can be powerful levers for climate resilience and should be embedded into policies, planning and finance.

Great article in the @weforum.org on the importance of #climateheritage or #culture in responding to #climatechange, w/ fantastic signposting to work/research (including the Global Research on Culture & Climate Change Agenda!)

We can finally hear the long-hidden music of the Stone Age Ancient rock art was meant to be heard as well as seen and now acoustic archaeologists are bringing the sounds of prehistoric rituals to life

“The oldest painted sites have this low, strange resonance, where if you sing, suddenly the cave sings back to you,” says Rupert Till at the University of Huddersfield, UK.

Archaeologists discover how oldest American civilisation survived a climate catastrophe Experts find artefacts left behind in Caral showing how population survived drought without resorting to violence

“Now, evidence is growing that, faced with a climate crisis, the civilization did not disappear but adapted and moved.” #climateheritage

Why solar power is the only viable power source in the long run Not only is solar more than capable of supplying all the world’s energy, in the long term it is the only power source that won’t fry the planet

"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."

Consultancy opportunity for those involved with #climateheritage - grasp of US fiscal and governance regulations required.

By zapping seawater with electricity, scientists make a solid carbon-negative building material In a double whammy, the method sucks up carbon dioxide and upcycles it into a material that can be used to make concrete, cement, plaster, and paint.

In the midst of a sweltering summer, our research published last year shows people are highly concerned about climate change and support policies that address both climate and health.

✅ The UK public are highly supportive of the government target to reach NetZero by 2050 🧵

Hot, dry summers bring new 'firewave' risk to UK cities Rising temperatures are increasing the chances of multiple wildfires at the same time, researchers say.

People are being “cooked alive”, yet #climatechange remains the politically charged hot potato. Time to invest heavily in long-term resilience.

There is growing evidence that climate change can have direct and indirect effects on mental health. This is especially true for extreme heat.

🌡️ The literature shows a clear relationship between increased temperatures and number of suicides and severe distress following extreme weather events🧵
