?? Global Progress on Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS) The 2024 Global Status of MHEWS report by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and the World Meteorological Organization, presented at #COP29, highlights strides in early warning system coverage and comprehensiveness. While progress is notable—especially in addressing multi-hazard risks—challenges persist, particularly for LDCs, LLDCs, and SIDS. Key takeaways: ? Steady increase in MHEWS coverage across regions. ? Disaster-related mortality significantly lower in countries with comprehensive systems. ? Data-sharing and collaboration are essential for scaling up. ??
