Through anticipatory action, the World Food Programme and its partners are cushioning the fallout of extreme weather in countries grappling with hunger.

Working together, NASA and IBM Research have developed a new artificial intelligence model to support a variety of weather and climate applications.

A study finds more frequent droughts challenge the accuracy of classifications tied to aid.
