Day 2 of CREWS@COP31
We started the day at COP31 with UNDRR’s “Capacity-building Accelerator: From Risk to Readiness – Strengthening Early Warning and Preparedness Capacities,” exploring how to equip local communities to prepare for and respond to weather-related hazards through capacity building.
From Afghanistan and Somalia to Djibouti and Niger, CREWS Director John Harding shared stories of impact on the communities, while also highlighting how technology can make early warnings more effective and accessible, including for persons with disabilities.
The focus is on turning warnings into readiness, so communities have the information and capacities to act before hazards strike.
