Measuring impact

Goal 

Strengthened resilience to climate shocks and loss and damage averted minimized, and adressed through increased availability and improved access to multi- hazard early warning systems by 2030.

Three Outcomes

  1. National and local multi- hazard early warning systems prioritized and funded.  
  2. Improved early waning service delivery and accessibility by national and regional institutions.  
  3. Early warning programmes are driven by people- centered and gender responsive principles and promote private sector engagement. 

Are we making a difference?  

To gauge if we are on track, we monitor progress on national and regional programme outputs: 

  • Improved national hydrometeorological services, including through long-term delivery strategies and development plans
  • Developed and accessible risk information to guide early warning systems and climate and weather services  
  • Strengthened common alerting protocols and information and communication technology
  • Strengthened and accessible preparedness and response plans with operational procedures outlining early warning dissemination processes 
  • Developed early warning knowledge products and awareness programmes  
  • Provision of gender-sensitive training and capacity building programmes 
  • Increased institutional and human capacity at regional WMO and intergovernmental organizations to provide climate and weather services to LDCs and SIDS 
  • Increased and better coordinated early warning investments to tackle gaps 

We measure our impact against targets set in 3 global agreements

Core CREWS Indicators

We use metrics and indicators to evaluate effectiveness.

Goal: Strengthened resilience to climate shocks and loss and damage averted and minimized through increased availability and improved access to multi-hazard early warning systems by 2030.# of people living in LDCs and SIDS with access to/and receiving forecasts and early warning services developed or improved with CREWS support
# of deaths and missing persons in LDCs and SIDS attributed to hydrometeorological events, per 100’000 population
# of people in LDCs and SIDS whose livelihoods were disrupted or destroyed, attributed to disasters
Outcome 1.National and local multi-hazard early warning systems prioritized and funded# of LDCs and SIDS with national investment plans and budgets prioritizing multi-hazard early warning programmes
# of national plans, strategies and legislations on early warnings approved and implemented
# of multi-hazard assessments, analyses and other mapping of needs, gaps priorites that inform investment requirements on early warning
Outcome 2. Improved early waning service delivery and accessibility by national and regional institutionsEW Maturity Index
# of hazards which pose a risk of life and economic loss for which forecasting and warning services are in place in LDCs and SIDS through CREWS support
Outcome 3. Early warning programmes are driven by people-centered and gender-responsive principles and promote private sector engagement# of climate and weather information products co-designed to users’ needs by group representing vulnerable segments of exposed populations
