Safety
Drawn 2026 for Ecotone Magazine
Ecotone Magazine invited me to submit a comic with the prompt "begin with a sentence or paragraph from one of the IPCC reports."
I picked this paragraph:
Policy mixes that include weather and health insurance, social protection and adaptive social safety nets, contingent finance and reserve funds, and universal access to early warning systems combined with effective contingency plans, can reduce vulnerability and exposure of human systems. Disaster risk management, early warning systems, climate services and risk spreading and sharing approaches have broad applicability across sectors. Increasing education including capacity building, climate literacy, and information provided through climate services and community approaches can facilitate heightened risk perception and accelerate behavioural changes and planning. (high confidence)
