About this deal
Access to robust disaster risk data is key for vulnerable countries like Belize to formulate evidence-based policy and adaptation actions, and to mobilize the required support for their implementation. In the film, the US and Russian governments explode nuclear bombs at the exact same time, which causes the Earth's axis to drastically alter by 11 degrees. The result is that the planet starts hurtling closer and closer to the Sun. Initially the world reacts positively to the hotter temperatures. But the conditions soon start to wreak havoc. The new GEO strategy focuses on providing trusted “Earth intelligence for all”, including governments and multilateral environmental agreements such as the Paris Agreement, offering insights and solutions that can inform strategic climate decisions. I think the best novels out there on climate change show how people are affected in small communities," says McGuire, who has written several books and short stories on the subject. "Small personal stories are the best way of getting across to people how bad things are going to be in the future."
A fundamental starting point for enhanced climate action is access to relevant and robust climate data,” said Ariesta Ningrum, Technology Manager at UN Climate Change. While it seemingly has the perfect title for the planet's current predicament, The Day the Earth Caught Fire's director Val Guest, who co-wrote it with Wolf Mankowitz, actually created the story to warn against the growing threat of nuclear war.The film explores the same issue that Southern Europe and North America have been experiencing over the last few weeks," remarks Bill McGuire, a climate scientist, activist, and writer who also happens to share a name with one of the leading characters. "The film is a fantastic analogy for how global heating has sped up across the planet today, as the world is getting hotter and hotter."
Earlier this month, GEO held a GEO Week and Ministerial Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, where it endorsed a new strategy for its work beyond 2025 to better respond to the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, as well as land degradation, deforestation and environmental disasters. INDIANAPOLIS -- — Tyrese Haliburton had 26 points and 10 assists, Myles Turner scored 10 of his 23 points in the final quarter, and the Indiana Pacers earned a quarterfinal home game in the NBA In-Season Tournament with a 136-113 home victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night. Over the last few weeks, record heatwaves have scorched the US, Europe, and China, so much so that the beginning of July had the hottest week the world has ever recorded. Despite the repeated pledges of countries to thwart the impact of climate change, global temperatures continue to rise. It's hard to know how to respond.

Yet, according to UNDRR, disaster risk information is an area showing slow progress in global multi-hazard early warning coverage. The situation is even worse in least developed countries and small island developing states.
