TS5: Accelerating Early Warnings for All through international, regional and national cooperation and partnerships

This session will explore the critical role of international, regional and national cooperation in supporting and accelerating the Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative. The session will begin by taking stock of key achievements and challenges in collaboration and partnerships at all levels and scales. It will then showcase effective strategies from various early warning systems drawing on regional experiences, highlighting pathways to fast-track EW4All implementation during the initiative's remaining phases and beyond.

By fostering stronger cooperation and partnerships, join us to enhance understanding and action among governments, stakeholders, and policymakers—empowering them to strengthen commitments, actively engage and drive the expansion of EW4All on both regional and national scales.
