This is why #anticipatoryaction in conflict settings is SO important. Just looking at the forecast of the last 20 days, models predicted extreme rainfall in Syria 15, 6 and 3 days before the shock! With the right triggers & early actions this disaster could have been mitigated.

An emotional moment here at #COP25. Young people take over the stage and remind us that we HAVE to step up and take #ClimateAction. Our legacy to them cannot be a destroyed planet. We simply must do better. We know what to do. We have a clear deadline. We have to get on with it.
More than 25 million people are displaced every year by sudden-onset disasters, many of them linked to the climate crisis. https://t.co/eSmC3UshRu #FacesOfClimateChange#RCRC19

Thanks for making #GDP19 a learning experience filled with evidence of the effectiveness of anticipatory humanitarian assistance. Looking forward to continuing our collaboration in 2020!

We need to act earlier, quicker, and more effectively to predictable humanitarian crises. Global Dialogue Platform on Anticipatory Humanitarian Action #GDP starts. A joint effort of @ifrc@RCClimate@roteskreuz_de@WFP@StartNetwork@FAOemergencies https://t.co/2trzrw8kbt
Increasing #earlyaction is not just about building systems & risk getting stuck at international or national levels. What is key, if we want to reach people furthest behind, is ensuring there is capacity on the ground by local actors and authorities. @PascaleMeige @ifrc#GDP19
What is smart about having predicted well what will happen & done nothing about it? Excellent question @ifrc SG @Elhadj_As_Sy. “Is #earlyaction good? It’s great. Is it enough? It’s not. We need ⬆️ support & engagement from donors & partners to make the difference we want.” #GDP19
