SUMMARY:GFDRR Launch Event - Designing Inclusive and Accessible Warning Sys
 tems: Good Practices and Entry Points
DESCRIPTION:The UCL Warning Research Centre invites you to join them for "D
 esigning Inclusive and Accessible Warning Systems: Good Practices and Entr
 y Points” organised by GFDRR. Recognising the importance of inclusive ea
 rly warning systems (EWS)\, the United Nations and the World Meteorologica
 l Organisation have launched an initiative called 'Early Warnings for All'
 . This is because disasters do not affect all populations equally and ofte
 n have a disproportionate impact on the world's most economically and soci
 ally vulnerable. Men\, women\, boys\, girls and gender and sexual minoriti
 es face different vulnerabilities in the context of disasters. In addition
 \, persons with disabilities and other marginalised groups are affected di
 fferently and often face unique challenges in the face of disasters and cl
 imate change. Effective and inclusive early warning systems (EWS) are crit
 ical to enable early action that can protect the lives\, livelihoods and a
 ssets of the most vulnerable groups. In addition\, the World Bank and GFDR
 R have invested significantly in hydromet projects and EWS in all regions\
 , and with the focus on inclusivity in the GFDRR strategy\, it is critical
  to identify opportunities and ways to design and build inclusive EWS. Tar
 geting development practitioners\, government officials\, and development 
 partners\, this panel will discuss the findings from a new report that see
 ks to identify good practices and entry points for integrating inclusivity
  into early warning systems using case studies and an assessment of gaps a
 nd actions that may be taken to build inclusivity into EWS investment prog
 rams.\n\nThe report will be available online following the event.\n\nThis 
 event is free.\n\nDate/Time: 2 May\, 10:00 am-11:00 am New York time\n\nLo
 cation: Online\, via MS Teams To join online\, go to the MS Teams calendar
