The Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative seeks to ensure that everyone is protected by early warning systems by 2027, particularly focusing on vulnerable populations. This event aims to provide an opportunity for countries across regions to share progress, challenges, and opportunities in implementing EW4All activities.
The event also offers a platform for cross-learning, fostering support, and sharing information among participating countries to further catalyze action and strengthen cross country and regional cooperation to aid in scaling up action on EW4All.
