This webinar will explore emerging practice when integrating and implementing Multi-hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS) and Climate Information Services (CI) into National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The webinar aims to further support countries as they begin to formulate their adaptation targets to be considered within NDCs and NAPs, in alignment with the UN Secretary General’s call for Early Warning for All by 2027.
Hosted by C2ES and joined by a range of partners including UNDP, this session will provide practical guidance and insights to help countries effectively incorporate MHEWS and CI into their climate planning and policy frameworks, showcasing some noted emerging practice.
Join us for this timely conversation featuring key experts, country partners and other stakeholders. This is a unique opportunity to gain valuable knowledge before SB62 and COP30 where discussions on NDCs and NAPs will take center stage. Participants will learn from successful country experiences, hear lessons learned, and discover what is working in countries leading the way on MHEWS and CI integration and implementation.
