Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems (CREWS) Initiative – Country Practices, People-Centred Early Warning
One of the most important indicators of an effective early warning system (EWS) is the demonstrated ability of the most vulnerable to make life-saving decisions based on available and user-friendly timely alerts and warnings. For this to occur the design, roll out and maintenance of such a system should be centred around the needs and inclusion of the institutions, people and communities that most require warnings. This is one of six value propositions of the Climate Risk and Early Warning System (CREWS) initiative that is factored into all of its investment interventions in least developed countries and in small island developing states. All projects must ensure engagement and integration of vulnerable groups into the strengthening their EWS. After almost two years of operations there have been many lessons learnt and best practices emerging across Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDSs). As such, the main objective of this side event will be to demonstrate the different approaches taken by countries to making their respective EWS people inclusive.
