Description:

We live in a changing world. Our climate is changing, our populations are growing and constantly on the move and as evidenced by the COVID-19 crisis, our exposure to a range of socio, technological, political and environmental threats and shocks is ever changing too.  On World Meteorological Day 2022, the UN Secretary General set the WMO a 5-year target of ensuring that everyone on the planet has access to an early warning service. Responding to this challenge, the ‘International Hazards – WMO’s Global Early Warning Service Challenge’ session is therefore inviting presentations which look at how environmental hazards and social sciences can be applied to and integrated with sectoral vulnerability and exposure datasets to deliver this next generation of multi-hazard impact-based forecasts and warnings.
