Sustainable early warning – Early action for fragile settings

This initiative promotes the UN Call for Early Warning for All. Among the targets is bringing disaster risk reduction (DDR) and climate security together with the humanitarian-development-peace nexus; elaborating on sustainable early warning systems (EWS) in fragile settings, including its governance, use of global data and use of innovative technologies.
