Weather and climate early warning systems to protect everyone
Everyone on Earth should have early warning systems to protect them against increasing extreme weather and climate changes within five years. This goal was announced by Antonio Guterres (UN Secretary-General) during World Meteorological Day on 23 March.
To improve quality services and infrastructures, particularly in LDC and SIDS nations, it is necessary to invest US$ 1.5billion over the next five years.
This investment will return at least tenfold investment. Early warning systems can have a significant impact on reaching the SDGs.
