Remember Hurricane Katrina?🌀
That was 2005.
2024 will be a year to remember!
The Atlantic Ocean has a lot to say right now. And none of it is particularly good. My take on the deep Atlantic heat – which blows May 2005 out of the water – how it could impact hurricane season, and how it's affecting us today via @CC_Yale yaleclimateconnections.org/2…

There are no natural disasters.
Calling disasters "natural" suggests we are powerless.
We are not.
We know how to:
👉 reduce exposure and vulnerability.
👉 to improve governance.
👉 take responsibility for protecting those at risk.

Here we explore how to bridge the gap between inefficient top-down policymaking and the often-neglected capacities on the ground.

A critique of travel:
🔸 Travel turns us into the worst version of ourselves while convincing us that we’re at our best. Call this the traveller’s delusion
🔸 We go to experience a change, but end up inflicting change on others

On a more critical note: when and for whom do sea walls make sense? They’re an important element of DRR approaches, but often create severe “side effects”. Judge for yourself… – at Aoba-ku, Miyagi
Every time I’m coming to Sendai and see the devastation the triple disaster has caused to schools and communities I feel shaken to the core. – at Aoba-ku, Miyagi
