I welcome the progress that has been achieved at #COP28 . UNDRR looks forward to delivering with UNOPS on our new responsibility as hosts of the Santiago Network to ensure developing countries receive the technical support they need to combat the effects of the climate emergency.

Thank you Philippine Mission UN Geneva for all your support in implement the #SendaiFramework .

Thank you Italy UN Geneva and all the #DRR Support Group for your support and kind words today in our last meeting together. Your leadership and commitment to UNDRR is vital in implementation of the #SendaiFramework now and moving into the future. #ResilienceForAll

'We must strive to close the ‘last mile’ of early warning and early action, everywhere.' António Guterres at the Opening of the Delivering #earlywarningsforall high-level event at #COP28 . UNDRR Int’l Telecommunication Union IFRC @wmo

We have the tech, expertise + partners to deliver live-saving alerts. Grateful for the additional resources announced today to implement systems + build capacity.
ITU ready to support. Join us to enable #EarlyWarningsForAll and save lives ~Tomas Lamanauskas #GreenDigitalAction #COP28

Achieving the #GlobalGoals requires leaving no one behind, especially the 1.3 billion people with disabilities.

I call on the world to work side-by-side with people with disabilities to design & deliver solutions based on equal rights in every country & community.

My hopes for #COP28 :

1. Commitments to get nationally determined contributions in line with 1.5°C limit.

2. Fossil fuel phaseout & big investments in renewables.

3. Acceleration of climate justice.

It is not too late to stop the climate crisis. But we need #ClimateAction now.

I'm very pleased to announce that UNDRR and UNOPS will jointly host the Santiago Network. This platform will accelerate countries’ access to technical assistance to combat the worsening effects of the climate emergency.

AI has the potential to accelerate #EarlyWarning capacity, especially in areas where traditional meteorlogical data coverage is low, such as Africa. Thank you Egypt for the important session at #COP28UAE

I welcome the EU proposed regulation to restore and protect degraded habitats. Environmental degradation is major risk driver. This is an important step to strengthen disaster resilience and preserve nature for future generations

Cost-effective, scalable and effective, Nature-based Solutions can help address growing disaster risk. Watch my lightning talk with Learning for Nature 👉 ow.ly/kL2b50Q56IG

The concept of risk tipping points is in line with our warnings that countries are accumulating #InterconnectedRisks , beyond their ability to adapt. We call on countries to invest in solutions that prevent these risks from triggering disasters. @‌UNUEHS ➡️ow.ly/rmSO50Q0Y4o

It was an honour to meet Prime Minister Siaosi Sovaleni of Tonga today, a true champion of disaster risk reduction. We discussed the importance of accelerating practical implementation of the Sendai Framework following the midterm review at the UNGA.

Inspiring to join 1400 school students in Tonga today testing the tsunami early warning system . Education on disaster risk is crucial to save lives and no one knows this better than the communities here after the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano and tsunami last year.

Bula vinaka from National Disaster Awareness Week in #Fiji ! Today Suva is running an earthquake+ tsunami evacuation with its partners Australia, New Zealand, US and the UN and Red Cross. A great eg of collaboration on Disaster prevention and preparedness. #EW4All #GetToHighGround

Ahead of #COP28 , I spoke to Dubai TV about how countries can reduce climate-related disaster losses to achieve #ZeroClimateDisasters

When disaster strikes, those most at-risk are more likely to face worsening inequalities & go deeper into poverty.
On Int'l Disaster Risk Reduction Day United Nations Coordinator Didier Trebucq & United NationsDRR's Nahuel Arenas share how #EarlyWarnings4All can help #BreakTheCycle .

By supporting the poorest and most vulnerable countries, by taking care of the most at-risk in all countries, we can ensure no one is left behind.

We must break this cycle of inequality, disaster, repeat. #DRRday – let’s #BreakTheCycle
