Catalysing Business Engagement in Early Warning Systems

Produced in partnership with the World Meteorological Organization and the Australian National University, this white paper calls for urgent action to strengthen collaboration, spark innovation and safeguard communities and economies from escalating climate risks.

Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and severity, posing growing threats to lives, infrastructure and economies worldwide. Early warning systems (EWS) have proven to be essential for climate adaptation – saving lives and reducing economic losses. Yet, only half of the world currently has reliable access to multi-hazard EWS.

This paper examines how businesses can bridge the EWS coverage gap through technological advancements, data-driven innovations and public-private collaboration. It highlights actionable strategies, identifies key drivers and barriers and offers a framework for successful partnerships to enhance global disaster resilience.
