Industrial emissions come from some of the most carbon intensive sectors of the economy and make up a fifth of global direct emissions — yet despite these challenges, achieving net-zero emissions from industry IS possible. #SystemsChangeLab explains how: https://t.co/YRNHYvFkLL https://t.co/sEVm7ZEznv

Soil organisms contribute to the remediation of soil pollution by breaking down contaminants.

They play a key role in #ClimateChange adaptation and mitigation by storing carbon in the soil.

Is climate change the same as global warming? Not quite.

The warming of Earth — or global warming — is just one factor that makes up a range of changes that are happening to our planet, which is climate change.

Typhoons trigger destruction and record-breaking rainfall in China
Record-breaking rainfall induced by tropical cyclones has caused devastation and casualties in the Chinese capital Beijing and the surrounding province of Hebei, prompting a major relief and rescue operation.

Beijing recorded its heaviest rainfall over the past few days since records began 140 years ago. It logged 744.8 millimeters of rain, the maximum amount of precipitation recorded during the rainstorm, between 8 p.m. on Saturday 29 July and 7 a.m. Wednesday 2 August at a city reservoir,  according to the Beijing Meteorological Service in a report cited by the Xinhua News Agency.

There were reports of more than a dozen casualties, with more than 125,000 people evacuated. Dramatic photos and film footage showed images of roads turned into rivers, sweeping away infrastructure and cars.

‘’The disaster is just the latest in a series of high-impact events which have affected Asia and other parts of the globe this summer, including extreme rainfall and dangerous heat,” said Dr Johan Stander, director of WMO Services Department. “We see evidence literally on a daily basis of the urgency of the UN Early Warnings for All intiative to ensure that everyone on Earth has access to life-saving early warnings.”

Typhoons Doksuri and Khanun

The rainfall was triggered by the powerful Typhoon Doksuri, which left a trail of destruction as moved from the Philippines and made landfall in the southeastern province of Fujian on 29 July. The massive rain banks of this powerful typhoon stretched as far north as Beijing and in areas along the Yellow and Huaihe rivers.

Meteorological authorities in both the Philippines and China issued their highest level of alert and ordered the suspension of maritime, land and air transport for Doksuri, the fifth named storm of the Pacific tropical cyclone season. Dozens of casualties were reported in the Philippines.

Xi Jinping demanded that all localities should make all-out efforts to search for and rescue missing and trapped people, do a good job in treating the injured and comforting the families of the victims, and minimize casualties. It is necessary to properly resettle the disaster-stricken people, pay close attention to repairing damaged infrastructure such as transportation, communications, and electricity, and restore normal production and living order as soon as possible.

Xi Jinping stressed that at present, in the critical period of "seven lower and eight upper" flood control, all regions and relevant departments must attach great importance to and compact their responsibilities, strengthen monitoring, forecasting and early warning, strengthen patrol duty, pay close attention to key flood prevention parts, implement various flood prevention measures, and make every effort to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and the overall stability of society.

The torrential rainfall also lashed Beijing's surrounding Hebei province, leading to the swelling of rivers, damaging bridges and prompting the evacuation of people. Hebei renewed an orange alert for rainstorms on Tuesday.

A new large and very strong typhoon, Khanun caused destructive winds and torrential rainfall in the Japanese island of Okinawa, according to WMO’s Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, the Tokyo Typhoon Center. Although it is not forecast to make landfall in China, there are warnings of storm tides hitting the coastal are[...]
