How can we adapt farming to an uncertain future? Could the answer be Climate Smart Agriculture? Find out with this free course.
A new model is capable of providing the earliest ever awareness of floods and drought globally. It indicates where and when rivers are likely to have unusually high or low flow, up to four months in advance. This could mean much earlier awareness of floods and droughts than has previously been possible.
Misleading El Niño flood information could be putting lives at risk and resulting in misdirected disaster relief, new research suggests. The new study comes after scientists suggested 2017 could see a third El Niño event in as many years, with the potential to disrupt weather patterns and food production globally.
This report demonstrates the interdisciplinary challenges in moving towards Forecast-based Action (FbA) for different humanitarian actors.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
