RT @UN_PGA: Today, we mark 20 years since the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, which was the first global disaster of the 21st century and one of the most devastating disasters in recent history.

We must reaffirm our collective resolve to prepare and protect future generations from the impacts of such natural disasters by incorporating disaster risk reduction and resilience into our sustainable development strategies.

Remembering the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami: a call to action. This day reflects on the lives lost and reminds us that "hazardous events, particularly low frequency, high impact hazards, can have impacts that ripple across the entire global system."

#DYK 20,000 years ago, the Baltic Sea was under 3 kilometers of ice? The weight of the ice pushed the land down more than 500 meters.

As the ice melts, the land rebounds, creating ~700 hectares of new land every year in a process called isostatic rebound. https://t.co/UuylkNZqfE

IUCN argues at World Court that States have a legal obligation to fight #ClimateChange.

These obligations are found in the global climate change treaties, but also in other treaties such as those on human rights, biodiversity and others.
