RT @ifrc: The climate crisis is escalating, with extreme weather events—heatwaves, floods, droughts—threatening lives and livelihoods worldwide. Yet, too many vulnerable communities remain without access to life-saving early warnings.

With a new $100M grant, we are 7 countries closer to our goal of ensuring Early Warnings for All by 2027. This project will strengthen will focus on Antigua and Barbuda, Chad, Cambodia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Fiji, and Somalia, helping communities anticipate and act before disaster strikes.
