losses witnessed in many countries is because disaster risk reduction is not mainstreamed into development planning and there is inadequate investment in early warning systems. An effective early warning mechanism could prevent or reduce the risk of a disaster…
ms, to reach a wider audience and ensure the delivery of warnings in a timely manner.

Preparedness and Response Capabilities: IFRC leads this pillar, and with support from Risk Informed Early Action Partnership (REAP), Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and World Food Programme (WFP).

Recognizing the importance of community involvement in disaster risk reduction, the initiative supports the active participation of local communities in early warning systems. This includes educating communities about the risks they face, training them on response and evacuation procedures, and integrating their indigenous knowledge into the systems.

Governance and Coordination: The African Union Commission (AUC) provides political leadership in the implementation of Early Warnings for All on the continent, supporting WMO and UNDRR who are co-leading the implementation.

Establishing an effective governance and coordination mechanism for early warning systems in Africa is crucial to ensure the timely and coordinated dissemination of critical information to at-risk populations.

The initiative would strengthen regional cooperation by fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among African countries, regional organizations, and international partners, promoting a coordinated and harmonized approach to early warning systems in the continent. This is vital given the transboundary nature of many hazards.

The World Meteorological Organization is the United Nations System’s authoritative voice on Weather, Climate and Water

Dear African leaders,

We can’t tackle the climate crisis with MORE fossil fuel extraction, pollution & neo-colonial corporate greed.

How about pursuing climate justice and clean, green, renewable energy for all instead? @ouliechristy @shenever_knew greenpeace.org/international…
