Resource Summary

As a flagship report of the UN Secretary-General’s Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative, this joint policy brief by the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) and the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) highlights the role of climate technology policies and scalable solutions in strengthening multi-hazard early warning systems (MHEWS). It examines how technology policies advance risk knowledge and early warnings within multilateral processes, then explores innovations such as AI, sensors, simulation models, and GIS. It also underscores the importance of capacity building, international cooperation, and integrating Indigenous and traditional knowledge. Finally, it presents key findings and recommendations. By providing insights into policy and technology solutions, this brief aims to equip policymakers with the tools to develop and implement fit-for-purpose technologies that improve disaster risk knowledge, strengthen early warning systems, and enhance climate resilience.
