In one of the oldest towns of Nepal, climate change is threatening a way of life that generations of people have come to accept. Panauti was popular for fish few decades ago and was rich in water resources. But now the rivers are dry. Panauti, a quaint little town is rich in fertile land with agriculture being the main occupation of the people. But over the past few years, the monsoons are shifting patterns and are quite erratic while temperatures are increasing every year, a symptom of global warming that many parts of South Asia are experiencing. Dried up and polluted rivers of Panauti has put the fishing communities in jeopardy. Regards Situ Sainju HAMRO PANAUTI (www.hamropanauti.com.np)

Connecting the dots on climate change at the graduation ceremony of Western State College in Gunnison, CO. Colorado has experienced severe droughts, and the most notable effect of this is the mass die-off of piñon pine trees due to a beetle that began killing the trees because they were weakened from drought.

For the 350.org global Climate Impacts Day, Connect the Dots event in May 2012, a small group of Dallas area residents set out to determine why heat waves in Dallas are getting worse and why drought and wildfires are increasingly affecting the state. (Taken near the Bath House Cultural Center at White Rock Lake, Dallas, TX.) Watch our video by Marshall Hinsley on our Facebook page.

One hundred youth from the Jordan Valley, Amman, and Salt, gathered at the shores of the Dead Sea today, organized by Friends of the Earth Middle East.  The youth held balloons to symbolize the dramatic 26 meter drop in the Dead Sea water levels since the 1960s.  The balloons were red, warning of the immediate need for action, and extended to different heights up to 26 meters, demonstrating the continuously declining water levels throughout the years. Dead Sea levels have been steadily dropping since the 1960s at the rate of one meter per year due to poor water management in the region.  This impact is compounded by climate change and unpredictable weather patterns.  Droughts and heat waves are becoming more intense in a region that is extremely water poor.  Population growth further stresses water resources such as the Jordan River, which feeds the Dead Sea.  We are gathering on this day of action to commemorate the Dead Sea, a unique natural wonder that is the lowest point on earth.  The alarmingly rapid collapse of the unmatched Dead Sea ecosystem embodies the struggles the region faces with climate impacts. We need immediate action—in Jordan and the entire region—to ensure water availability and accessibility for the future.  Connect the dots.

“We can’t live without water”. The Midlands Meander Education Project and Mpophomeni Enviro-club kids would like everyone to know how Climate Change is affecting the supply of water in South Africa. Mpophomeni Township is situated in the Umgeni River catchment which supplies water for over 4 million people. High evaporation rates, and a changes in rainfall are affecting the wetlands and rivers in this region. South Africa is a water vulnerable country, already there are areas that are suffering from water shortages. The time to act is now!
