UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is expected to address the congress on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Seventy-five years ago, the World Meteorological Organization was born out of the reality that weather, water and climate respect no national boundaries,&#8221; WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo said in a report. &#8220;Global collaboration on observations and forecasts is indispensable because no individual country can do this on their own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Saulo emphasized that &#8220;there can be no resilient development, no food security, no infrastructure planning and no disaster risk reduction without the services, science and infrastructure that we collectively provide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the WMO, the number of countries with multi-hazard early warning systems has more than doubled in the past decade, from 52 in 2015 to 108 in 2024, but major gaps persist, particularly in developing and conflict-affected countries. Disaster mortality remains six times higher in nations with limited early warning capacity.<\/p>\n<p>A new WMO report, Early Warnings for All in Focus: Hazard Monitoring and Forecasting, showed that half of assessed countries possess only basic capacity in monitoring and forecasting.<\/p>\n<p>Despite growing satellite use and expanded data-sharing networks, &#8220;compliance with the Global Basic Observing Network remains low&#8221; in least developed and small island states.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The success of Early Warnings for All is not measured in reports or resolutions, but in lives saved and livelihoods protected,&#8221; Saulo wrote in the report\u2019s foreword. &#8220;As we look toward 2027, let us redouble our efforts to ensure that no one \u2014 no matter where they live \u2014 is left unprotected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Eritrea<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eritrea.
