Session 9B International Hazards – ‘The UN’s Early Warnings for All (EW4All) Challenge

Wednesday, 31 January 2024: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
336 (The Baltimore Convention Center)
Host: 40th Conference on Environmental Information Processing Technologies

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 should be protected by an early warning service by the end of 2027. Responding to this challenge, this session is inviting presentations that explore good practices and exciting innovations that describe how environmental hazards, social sciences, last mile communication strategies and the latest technologies can be applied to and integrated with sectoral vulnerability and exposure datasets to deliver the next generation of multi-hazard impact-based forecasts and warnings.
