Happy #WorldMeteorologicalDay 🌏🛰️
Weather, climate and water extremes are becoming more frequent and intense around the world as a result of climate change.
Being prepared can save lives and protect the livelihoods of communities everywhere.
That's why today, @unitednations Secretary General @antonioguterres has commissioned the @wmo_omm to ensure that within the next 5 years, everyone on earth is protected by early warning systems against increasingly extreme weather.
The World Meteorological Organisation will lead the effort and present an action plan to achieve this goal at #COP27 this November.

Happy #IntlForestDay 🌳🌴🌲
Forests are crucial in our fight against #ClimateChange.
They support livelihoods, supply food and absorb carbon.
At #COP26 100 leaders committed to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030.

Women and girls are disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change.
This year's Commission on the Status of Women's centres around:
⚖️ Achieving gender equality in the context of climate change
✍️ Developing environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programmes
On until 25 March, #CSW66 is convening global leaders, government officials, civil society, NGOs and private sector representatives to inspire change and advocate for gender equality worldwide.
Without gender equality today, a sustainable, more equal future is beyond our reach.
