Towards the “Perfect” Weather Warning

#GESI: Despite increasingly building evidence, consideration of gender and marginalised groups and differentiated vulnerabilities often remain box-ticking exercises & given inadequate attention. https://t.co/31x6FVj8Qd We will be talking all about GE

However, responsibilities for different aspects of early warning systems largely remain scattered across departments and institutions, often resulting in an uncoordinated and unsustainable approach. https://t.co/31x6FVj8Qd 3/8

We need to do more to proactively design D&C w/ the needs of the most vuln in mind FIRST - rather than leaving them behind to “solve” the last-mile gap later. Real participation, improving capacities & recognition of responsibilities is key. htt

Despite advances there are still gaps in the ‘technical’ aspects of #EWS - quality and coverage of monitoring equipment, forecasting capability. 1/3 of people (most in least developed countries & SIDS) are still not covered by #EWS - 60% in Africa.
