💡COVID-19 revealed institutional flaws but also proved societies can transform to face existential threats. For the #ClimateCrisis, we must harness this capacity for democratic renewal, prioritizing #justice, #participation, and robust institutions not just resilience.

⏫In a world without climate change, similar heatwaves would be expected less than every 2,500 years.

But today, with 1.3°C of warming, they are much more likely, expected every 13 years.
