Natural disasters are not just isolated events, but a manifestation of climate change. To effectively address them, we need to integrate climate change adaptation into all levels of decision-making and conduct further research. This will enable us to make well-informed decisions and create a more resilient future." ~ @NTiitmamer #GroundingClimateChangeEA
