🗨️ “We are on a highway to hell with our foot on the accelerator”. Strong words from the UN Sec. Gen. at #COP27, echoed by @miaamormottley launched a blistering attack on rich nations and warned of a billion refugees by 2050 unless govts act now to tackle the #climatecrisis.

Showcased to potential users and technology adapters is the @icpac_igad Disaster Operation Centre as a one stop analytical hub that links to decision and response actors. The message- in the wake of climate driven disasters, early warning is stronger. What about Early Action?

[Viola Otieno @VylAnne]

Who is accountable when #earlywarning is not acted upon?

Key messages from #AfricaDP2022 reverberating the messages from #GPDRR2022
Financing mechanisms
Trust
Breaking silos
Integration of indigenous systems
are key to #AnticipatoryActions
