Because COVID-19 has forced many events online, we all have an opportunity to participate in an event or to explore the event website which is packed full of information. If we can better understand the global crisis caused by climate change, we can better understand the calls for action to curb our greenhouse gas emissions.
This week, Jan. 25-26, the Netherlands is hosting the Climate Adaptation Summit (CAS 2021), an online global conference to accelerate, innovate and scale up the world’s efforts in adapting our societies and economies to the inevitable effects of climate change over the coming decade. CAS 2021 will jumpstart a year of climate-related events and will also link up with the World Economic Forum’s Davos Agenda Week, Jan. 25-29.
CAS 2021 organizers write: “The climate emergency is escalating, and communities all over the world will have to deal with the various inevitable effects. Even while rightly taking measures to mitigate climate change and reduce its causes, we must prepare and adapt to new and extreme conditions. Higher temperatures, more precipitation and rising sea levels, among others, are already taking their toll. Government, business, and other leaders must radically rethink how to protect people, the planet, and our prosperity.”
From Reuters reporting about CAS 2021: But even if governments and businesses ramp up renewable energy and energy efficiency fast enough to do that, “we still have a massive investment need in adaptation” … as already unavoidable climate change impacts unfold. Improving adaptation “is not defeat – it’s simply defence.”

Thank you for providing notice and information about this Summit 2021. Well done!
All efforts to heighten awareness and encourage support for actions to curb climate warming are essential to achieving climate goals for future generations.
Many Thanks, T.C., for the notice about this conference. Time is running out for us to save our planet, and up to date information. is essential. We know what actions will work, we can take the necessary steps, we still have time, but we must take significant action now.
Sounds good. Its so obvious…anyone else have perennials coming up. New growth…fresh new weeds. Flys waking…I am sure you have as I see many speaking about their gardens. 28 years working my gardens and the last 3 I have seen this as well as earlier arrival of certain birds…I suspect this is our warning. Lose the plastic bottles. Buy metal. Wash, drink, repeat. Ha. I try very hard to do this…of course impossible to get it all gone but…just buying glass is a start. Seems young folks don’t care much for the Solid wood antique tables. Chairs, desks, bookcase which fill shops all over the county. I get it but I say to you….buy it. It’s so cheap now its amazing. Get a chainsaw…hammers, forks…tear the heck out of them. Saw off those round hand turned legs the sides if course….get creative…paint, mosaic cloth…Go yo your imagination. (:
Also not toxic like rubber wood…destroying the jungles to get you that. Cherry and Rosewood nearly non existent in Asia. And the wood now with all the resin to hold the partical board together…all toxic.
After, I am vaccinated I will show you how and help you. Trust me…its fun and it will be cool and unique as you are. P S. I don’t own an antique shop or furniture store. Hahaha. XO Deb.
You people are funny. No matter what the weather is like year over year, it is always evident of ACCC happening. How about taking your talking points and committees over to China and demand they get their ecological “Sierra Tango” and see what answer you get.
