💔Harun represented the best of humanity in every way. Lucky we had him on this earth and in our team. My fave quote from him: "Each and every person here has huge potential. We just have to bring it out.”
Det er ikke ofte man får æren å jobbe sammen med noen som har reddet tusenvis av liv. Min helt Harun Al-Rashid gikk bort i dag, etter 50 års tjeneste i det bangladeshiske syklonvarslingsprogrammet han hjalp grunnlegge etter Bhola-syklonen drepte 300 000+ mennesker i 1970 (1/4)
Mr Harun var 70, men dro på seg Røde Kors-vesten og var en tålmodig og klok mentor både for flyktningene som meldte seg frivillig, og for oss som jobbet med å sette opp strukturen rundt. Hvis jeg vil være som noen, er det han - intelligent, omsorgsfull, og ydmyk hele livet.(4/4)
It is very rare in life to meet people in whom intelligence, kindness, and humility all shine equally bright - and when you do, you never want to leave their side. Mr Harun Al-Rashid was one of those people. His work with the #CPP saved lives, and he inspired all who met him. 🕯
With the compound impacts of env. degradation, climate change and armed conflict threatening lives, health and livelihoods in the Middle East, we have to make adaptation work. It was a pleasure to present our upcoming @rodekorsnorge and @ICRC report with @norwayun at UNHQ in NYC.
Compounding impacts of environmental degradation, climate change & armed conflict have far-reaching implications for human security ⚠️
Thanks to all who came & participated in the 🇳🇴co-hosted preview of @ICRC & @rodekorsnorge's coming report on making climate adaption work 🙏

This year felt hot & dry? We need to become resilient to that. New @wxrisk study with @SISeneviratne @mkvaalst et al. shows climate change leaving fat fingerprints over northern hemisphere summer droughts worldweatherattribution.org/…
The road goes ever on and on... these lovely photos from the first 100 km of the @turistforening Saga route are for @prancingponypod hosts @ShawnEMarchese and @AlanSistoVO who were in my ear the whole way. No trolls or giants spotted, guess I have to take you to Jotunheim next.

Last month was statistically tied for the 5th warmest May on record globally (with 2018/2021) - @CopernicusECMWF analysis. There was quite a bit of variability over land regions & a clear La Niña signature remaining over the equatorial Pacific Ocean.
