Early warning, early and anticipatory action in humanitarian settings: Reducing impacts of climate and environmental risk and saving lives and livelihoods

Description

The webinar will introduce participants to practical pathways to advance early and anticipatory action, strengthening systems and communities to save lives and livelihoods, and build resilience to cope with climate and environmental risks. These practical examples will showcase a variety of tools, resources, and lessons learned that signatories can draw from in getting started with EW/EA and AA programs.
