10th Annual UN-SPIDER Conference in Beijing! 19–21 Nov 2024! IN-PERSON! Yuyang Hotel!
In recent years, climate change, extreme weather, population growth and urbanization have led to an increasing number of people being threatened by compound disaster risks, and it has become a global challenge to mitigate disaster risks and reduce the loss of lives and property, or environmental damage. The need for early warning systems as preventative measure is more crucial than ever. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 explicitly calls for the development of multi-hazard early warning systems to improve their availability; Goal 3 “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages” and Goal 13 “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts” of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development encourage countries to develop early warning systems; Article 7 “Enhancing adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change” and Article 8 “Loss and Damage associated with Climate Change Impacts” of the Paris Agreement also place a high priority on strengthening early warning systems.
