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
- National and local multi- hazard early warning systems prioritized and funded.
- Improved early waning service delivery and accessibility by national and regional institutions.
- 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.
| Loss of life | # of deaths and missing persons in LDCs and SIDS attributed to hydro meteorological events, per 100’000 population |
| Forecasting and warning capacity | Type of hazards, which pose a risk of life loss in the country, for which forecasting and warning capacity is available |
| ‘Level of Service’ category of the National Meteorological and Hydrological Service (NMHS) in LDCs and SIDS | |
| Access to early warning | # of people living in areas covered by forecasts and warnings for a given hazard |
| # of women having access to communication channels (the ICT tools) used for early warning | |
| # of households and individuals with access to and use of ICT in LDCs and SIDS | |
| Use of risk information | # of LDCs and SIDS that have generated risk information to enhance the early warning system |
| Capacity to disseminate warnings | # of LDCs and SIDS communicating warnings through common alerting procedures |
| Capacity to prepare for and respond to warnings | # of LDCs and SIDS using standard operating procedures (SOPs) to issue warnings for forecasted hazards |
