At that time the Alps were not ice free.
Some (climatesensitive and shallow) summit ice caps were restricted or extinct, but large valley glaciers still existed, albeit slightly shorter than today.
๐ก๏ธ As #climate impacts shift the spread and burden of disease, innovation is essential. Adapting our health systems isnโt just about stronger infrastructure and surveillance. Itโs also about smarter tools to prevent, diagnose and treat #ClimateSensitive diseases.
I attended a roundtable on Italian #ClimateChange Think Thank of #ECCO under Theme: Building Peace & security in Africa thru Climate Action & Resilience, including role of #Mattei Plan. The insights will nurture strategic policy guidelines for renewed #climatesensitive approaches

TERI successfully conducted the State-Level Policy Dialogue on Mainstreaming Climate-Sensitive #UrbanPlanning in Himachal Pradesh under the aegis of the #UrbanAct project, with the support of @giz_gmbhon June 18, 2025. Held in the scenic state capital Shimlaโone of the three Urban-Act cities alongside Coimbatore and Goaโthe dialogue brought together voices from state and local #government, #academia, #civilsociety, and the #privatesector.
The Urban-Act project (Integrated Urban Climate Action for Low-Carbon and Resilient Cities) aims to support Indian cities in embedding #climateresilience and #lowcarbon strategies into core urban planning instruments, institutional processes, and financial systems.
The policy dialogue in Shimla focused on four critical themes:
๐ #Climatesensitive approaches in hill town planning
๐ Institutional mechanisms for risk-informed #urbandevelopment
๐ Inclusive and participatory planning in fragile #urbanecosystems
๐ #Financingstrategies for climate-responsive urban growth
This collaborative dialogue fostered knowledge exchange and built momentum for integrating climate considerations into the development pathways of #Himachalโs rapidly evolving #urbanlandscapes.

TERI organized an ideation workshop on #climatesensitive and participatory #urbanplanning in Coimbatore on August 2, 2024. The workshop was conducted in collaboration with @giz_india, with support from @CbeCorp, and was part of the #UrbanAct project.
''The #UNSC should provide normative guidance for climate-sensitive security risks, including with attention to the specifics of the Arab Mediterranean region.'' - @MessaoudiSarra of @mena4yps on the urgent need to address #ClimateSensitive security risks.
TERI recently presented in the workshop on "Integrated Urban Climate Resilience Planning and Indicator Development" in Panaji, Goa as a part of Urban-Act project. The workshop was organized by @giz_india, University of Dortmund and @Uni_Stuttgart.
#UrbanAct#ClimateSensitive
Closing remarks @dinuguruge
1. R&D for #dengue treatment & diagnosis must be included in infectious disease funding
2. Equitable access to tools to diagnose & treat #climatesensitive diseases
3. Biopharmaceutical innovation to be a part of #climatechange adaptation strategy.
We need to have more #implementation#scientists working in the intersection of #climatechange, #nature, #biodiversity, and #health. ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ
We know that breaching the #planetaryboundaries has serious human health impacts. We know that there are solutions to reverse these impacts. ๐ However, many of these interventions remain as pilot scale proofs-of-concept that have not been adapted or re-designed in other contexts.
#ImplementationScience and those working in the field have a big role in #translating, #adapting, and #transporting#climatesensitive and #naturebased health interventions and evidence to settings that need these the most. ๐ง โก๏ธ๐ช๐ฝโก๏ธ๐ก๐ซ๐ฅ
#FactCheck
Why is Kenya vulnerable to effects of climate change?Key drivers of the economy;transport,agriculture,Livestock, Tourism,Forestry and Fisheries are Climatesensitive with the country's low adaptive capacity to #climatechange, it experiences high level of #Vulnerability
Yes! ๐There is so much know-how on the ground that we can scale up - @climatemorgan at #BCSC2022 ending on a positive note.
Examples of local initiatives for #climatesensitive conflict & violence prevention = an essential pool of knowledge & expertise ๐ bit.ly/3uikTdK
#AlarmingGlobalWarming
The country relies heavily on its climatesensitive land, water and forest resources for livelihoods and food security.ย
