Extreme weather is getting stronger — but so are the solutions. This week’s Talking Climate looks at resilience, risk, and what each of us can do. ⬇️

☀️ Good news: Hurricanes are intensifying and extreme weather disasters are getting worse--but from Jamaica to Puerto Rico, clean energy is helping communities recover faster.

⚠️ Not-so-good news: A new UN report shows climate disasters have displaced 250 million people in the past decade. That's 70,000 every day!

🛠️ What you can do: Whether you’re choosing a new place or strengthening the one you have, assess your home’s climate risks so you can prepare for flooding, fire, water supply, insurance, and more.
