Now is the time to act. By closing the early warning gap together, we can create a safer, more resilient world.

At the halfway point, we are making strong progress in saving lives, protecting livelihoods, and strengthening resilience across countries and communities.

As of 2024, 108 countries report having some capacity for multi-hazard early warning systems, more than double the 52 countries in 2015


The least developed countries have shown the most significant improvements, with landlocked developing countries and small island developing states also surpassing the global rate.


The global average score for the comprehensiveness of multi-hazard early warning systems has risen from 0.35 to 0.49, an increase of 39%.


Governments must lead the way

Collaboration between the public and private sectors holds significant potential for the Early Warnings for All initiative, with opportunities for engagement across a broad spectrum of private sector actors—both large and small. While government agencies—particularly National Meteorological and Hydrological Services—must remain the source of authoritative warnings, private sector collaboration can help drive innovation, strengthen dissemination, and enhance risk knowledge.

From AI-driven forecasting tools to enhanced communication systems, businesses can provide valuable expertise and resources. Whether they are established corporations or local companies, the private sector has a vested interest in leveraging weather and climate information to manage risks, protect assets, optimize operations, and ensure long-term resilience.

By working together, public and private stakeholders can create more inclusive and robust early warning systems that protect communities and strengthen business resilience.
