CLIMATE ACTION IS NO LONGER AN OPTION
The final report on Arubaโs community climate actions is LIVE! ๐ข on World Environment Day ๐ด ๐
Aruba faces unique risks and our community wants solutions. ๐๏ธ
Here are the key takeaways from the community survey:
1๏ธโฃ Top Priority: A large majority (+75%) of us say climate adaptation is an important priority for the next decade! ๐จ
2๏ธโฃ Beating the Heat: Rising temperatures are our #1 concern, affecting everything from our health, our work to our energy bills. ๐ฅต
3๏ธโฃ Cost of Living: Climate change is hitting our wallets through higher food prices and utility costs. ๐ธ
4๏ธโฃ Nature + Tech: We want to protect our reefs and mangroves while investing in renewable cooling and nature-positive infrastructure. ๐ฟ๐๏ธ
5๏ธโฃ Common Good: Strong support for prioritizing help for the vulnerable, our elderly and low-income families. ๐ค
๐ Insight: To strengthen our climate resilience to safeguard community wellbeing, and implement these and other climate solutions, (new) climate legislation and (sustainable) climate finance are key to unlocking regeneration ๐ ๐ฑ
