💧 Every year, on 13 October, the world marks the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR) to raise awareness about reducing disaster risks and building resilient communities.
In Moroto, Uganda Red Cross Society is trucking water to support communities facing water scarcity, providing this vital resource for both people and their animals.
Access to water is essential for human health, livestock survival and community resilience, particularly in drought-prone areas.
By delivering water and supporting vulnerable communities, Uganda Red Cross is helping address immediate needs while strengthening resilience to climate-related hazards.

📍Somalia | Millions face a potential climate disaster as a record El Niño looms. Families risk losing their homes, and farmers their crops to floods or leave their fields unplanted, raising the risk of hunger next year.

#ElNiño: 'The forecast is as good as it gets. The plans are largely written, financing mechanisms exist. Every day of delay is a choice – not a gap in knowledge,' argues @RodeKruis's Sirak Temesgen; @KenyaRedCross '24 file pic, what happened last time - bit.ly/4hv1rmZ

A pleasure to join today’s High-Level Opening Plenary of the Climate Action Summit alongside @DAcconciaEU of DG CLIMA and @zfoundation Charlotte Stemmer.
We discussed how we can finance action earlier, scale locally led solutions and invest in lasting local institutions.

Early action makes early warning work.
Today, I delivered opening remarks alongside the COP31 President @murat_kurum and joined the Hope, Humanity and Progress leadership dialogue at the Climate Action Summit hosted by the IFRC and the @RCClimate.
I shared how preparedness helped a headteacher in Nepal lead 900 children to safety before floods destroyed their school.
Warnings alone do not save lives. Communities must be prepared, empowered and resourced to act.

What a brilliant panel opening the Climate Action Summit today. Fine Tu'itupou-Arnold, SG of the Cook Islands Red Cross explains how communites are not asking us to redesign their systems, they want strengthened what they are already doing and we need humility to recognize that.
Powerful opening at the Climate Summit by Tine Stege, Climate Envoy of the Marshall Islands: "Let's be honest, the science has given us this wake-up call many times over. It is the same wake-up call that Pacific peoples, including Marshall Islanders, have been sounding 4 decades"
