The analysis was conducted by the World Weather Attribution group, which aims to quickly evaluate the possible role of climate change in extreme weather events. What’s more, the dams might not have been designed to withstand such an extreme rainfall in the first place, they say. To assess the role of climate change, researchers then combined observations of rainfall and climate models to determine if there had been changes in the likelihood and intensity of those maximum rainfalls. Even so, the attribution analysis’ approach is useful to those who must act on climate change, including deciding how to build infrastructure that’ll be in place for decades to come, he said. “For this reason, my belief is that these attribution studies actually underestimate the impact human-caused climate change is having on these events,” Mann said in an email.

DERNA, Libya (AP) — Authorities have divided Libya’s flood-stricken city of Derna into four sections to create buffers in case of disease outbreaks, the prime minister of Libya’s eastern administration said Tuesday, a day after thousands of angry protesters demanded the city’s rapid reconstruction. Government officials and aid agencies have given death tolls ranging from about 4,000 to 11,000, with thousands more missing. Both authorities have deployed humanitarian teams to the city but have struggled to respond to the large-scale disaster. The recovery operation, with help from international teams, has been poorly coordinated, and residents say aid distribution has been uneven. “Thousands of people in Derna, Libya lost their lives in epic, unprecedented flooding.”___Associated Press writer Jack Jeffery in London and Samy Magdy in Cairo contributed to this report.

As I told the G20, it is time for a global compromise. Effective leadership is compromise,” said the UN chief, who was in India earlier this month to attend the New Delhi G20 summit. He underscored that leaders have a special responsibility to achieve compromise in building a common future of peace and prosperity for our common good. Ignoring global treaties and conventions makes us all less safe,” he said, adding that poisoning of global diplomacy obstructs progress across the board. “This is the only path to affordable renewable energy for all.” Guterres said despite the world’s long list of global challenges, the spirit of “determination can guide us forward.

Derna authorities say there are so many journalists in the city that they pose an obstacle to the work of rescue teams.

Thousands of people died in a horrific flood in Libya earlier this month, a tragedy that was worsened by human-caused climate change, a study released Tuesday found. The study was prepared by the World Weather Attribution (WWA) group, which does quick analyses of weather and climate events to determine what, if any, role human-caused climate change may have had. Scientists used established peer-reviewed methods to determine the contribution of climate change to the floods. The interaction of these factors, and the very heavy rain that was worsened by climate change, created the extreme death and destruction, the study said. Human-induced climate change is loading the dice, enhancing the ability of tropical cyclones and similar storms to produce extreme rain as they draw more water vapor out of oceans into a warming atmosphere."

PlayAt a Glance World Weather Attribution analyzed recent flooding in Libya, Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria. The study found that extreme rainfall in Libya was made up to 50 times more likely by climate change. Climate change made extreme rainfall that caused recent catastrophic flooding in Libya up to 50 times more likely to happen, according to an international panel of scientists. T​he conclusions were announced Tuesday morning by World Weather Attribution, which looks at the connections between extreme weather and climate change. -​There are some uncertainties in the numbers, but the WWA scientists say they are confident climate change played a role.

Minister Shokry commended Albania's efforts on the front of reinforcing peace, stability, and regional integration in Balkans, and its achievements during the chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in 2020. That is in addition to its growing and positive role in the framework of NATO since it became member in 2009. They also conferred over the events in Sahel countries, and their impact on regional stability, as well as illegal migration, and circumstances in Europe and Balkans.

Hundreds of Libyans protested outside a mosque in Derna on Monday to demand government accountability for the deadly flood, while other demonstrators marched up to the house of the mayor, setting it on fire. An exact death toll has been difficult to ascertain, with many bodies unidentified and efforts focused on helping survivors. Aid workers have been overwhelmed by the magnitude of the crisis, and Derna residents who are now homeless are still lacking basic food and supplies. One protester held up a poster that read, “The sad city of Derna demands the restoration of its rights." “We demand immediate and effective reconstruction of the city of Derna and compensation for the victims," read another demand.

A week after a flood wiped out much of the centre of the city, furious Derna residents demonstrated on the streets and torched the home of the mayor overnight. They accuse the authorities of failing to maintain the dams that protected the city, and failing to evacuate residents before the storm. The regional administration said it had suspended the mayor and fired the entire city council. "Haftar's forces are under pressure to show they have control of the situation, and that they can handle the fallout. "The large number of journalists has become an impediment to the work of rescue teams."

NEW YORK: The flood damage in eastern Libya “defies comprehension,” the UN resident and humanitarian coordinator for the country said in a press briefing on Monday, two days after visiting the disaster zone in Derna. Flooding has also shifted landmines and unexploded ordnance in eastern Libya, putting displaced people at risk of injury and death. Many countries have “stepped up” and are providing different kinds of international support, search and rescue teams, as well as mobilizing aid aircraft and ships. Other Gulf states, including the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar, have also taken part in the disaster response. Gagnon met with members of the Derna community in Tripoli.

Mediterranean storm Daniel collapsed two dams in eastern Libya, allowing 20-foot waves to breach the port city of Derna. Before the storm, there were already over 300,000 people in Libya who were in need of humanitarian aid,” Gelsdorf said. Among his many roles at UVA, Petri serves as the Wade Hampton Professor of Medicine and performs on-the-ground health research and outreach in foreign nations. Dams Serve as Cautionary ReminderRight away, Libya will need an extraordinary influx of funds to cover its most pressing human needs. Then it will need more, to cover the costs of reliable infrastructure that will prevent such floods in the future.
