The summer of 2021 was the fifth warmest summer in Serbia in the last 70 years. The impact was felt by farmers, villagers and urban dwellers - both physically and economically. But new technological solutions could add at least some relief as the country fights climate change.

This is a photo taken (by Patrick Phillips) after the protest in Anacortes. For the record, as a resident of the area i felt both sides had points that should be heard, and that conversation needs to happen.
Please. If you are going to go into communities, show some respect. This is just a disgrace, and does the movement no favors. If you are advocating celling the planet - you might want to set the example by not treating the community as a personal landfill.
If you have any integrity, you’ll send your activists back to clean up the mess they left behind.

Seems like we’ve been in the 90s or higher since Memorial Day. That’s almost 60 days, plus at least the next ten. There was a wildfire in the county yesterday, fortunately stopped in a few hours. (The Weather Channel via iPhone)
The Philippines: Badjao sisters stand in front of their makeshift home as their mother washes clothes in Wawa, Batangas. Disparagingly labelled as "sea gypsies," Badjao follow the movements of the sea rather than the borders of the land, never quite belonging to the countries in which they live. Many Badjao families like this one settled in Wawa, a mixed community of Badjao and Tagalog peoples, after fleeing from the fighting in Mindanao. What is not visible in the background is the island that used to sit across this bay, which is where these Badjao families used to live before it was swallowed up by a typhoon a few years ago, forcing these fisherfolk to relocate once more. The Badjao here have been Christianised and want to be known as "Goodjao," to escape the prejudice and marginalization that their ethnicity has historically experienced in Southeast Asia. With the Philippines the third-most vulnerable country to climate change, fisherfolk, who are the least responsible for causing the worsening climate crisis, are also the population most vulnerable to its disastrous consequences such as rising sea levels, storm surges, and coastline erosion.

In Cape Verde staff members organized an ecological walk in the Serra Malagueta, a Natural Park in Santiago Island to raise awareness for biodiversity conservation and climate change issues.
Afghanistan is one of the most vulnerable countries for climate change; even here, in beautiful, mountainous Panjshir province.
In response, UNDP is helping farmers grow more and protect themselves from natural disasters.
Our Climate Change Adaptation project operates in four provinces and is made possible with funding from the Global Environment Facility's Least Developed Countries Fund.

Climate activists in Edinburgh sent a message to world politicians who are meeting now in Lima, asking them to agree a deal to prevent catastrophic climate change.
They took to the streets on Saturday to collect signatures supporting the Edinburgh Climate Action Pledge which also calls on the City of Edinburgh Council to take urgent steps to cut the city’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Matthew Crighton of Friends of the Earth Edinburgh commented
“To look after our planet and ourselves we have to stop burning fossil fuels – coal, natural gas and oil – and switch to renewables. It’s practical and can improve people’s lives at the same time. Transforming our energy system will create jobs, cut pollution and tackle dangerous climate change.
“Let’s take vigorous action now, rather than face the consequences of climate change- devastation to farming around the world, rising food prices and rising hunger, mass migrations and unrest, flooding of coastal areas; and disaster for the natural world.
“So we want a global agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions; and we also want action in Scotland to meet our emissions targets. We support Edinburgh Council’s target to reduce the city’s carbon emissions by 42% by 2020. We want to see action taken now to achieve and then exceed that target”.

Without the ability to accurately observe the faster-than-daily changes in ocean life cycles, over vast spatial scales, scientists lack the ability to predict how the ocean will respond to rising CO2 levels, crippling their ability to develop accurate models of global warming or devise strategies to prevent it. The Carbon Explorer meets this need by gathering unparalleled amounts and types of data to improve modeling capability in this critical scientific area.

An affordable rainwater harvesting was tested during the project and the results look promising. The water is used domestically and contribute much in solving nutritional issues as the tanks are important for kitchen garden irrigation.

If light and electricity were equally valued, how different this LAND(?)scape would be.
According to Bill Gates, this year’s list of inventions is going to transform our world for the better. An example to cite, carbon dioxide catcher. It’s one of the most practical and affordable ways to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, and is one of the most viable ways to stop catastrophic climate change.
From Manila’s Kilometer Zero, Climate Walk participants cross San Juanico Bridge to arrive in Tacloban- Haiyan Ground Zero, in time for the first anniversary of the Typhoon Haiyan’s landfall in Eastern Visayas. The Climate Walk is a People’s Walk for Climate Justice, co- organized by Greenpeace and other climate advocacy groups and civil society organizations. The climate advocates are appealing to developed countries and world leaders to commit to ambitious and binding targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions to the amount that will keep the global average temperature to less than a 1.5 degree Celsius increase above pre-industrial levels. ©Roi Lagarde/Greenpeace
