Abstract:

The number of people displaced by climate disasters is three times that by wars, with half of humanity already in the danger zone. As an effective adaptation measure and low hanging achievement in addressing climate change, the United Nations Early Warnings for All Executive Action Plan was released at the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The plan will provide early warning to all people on Earth over the next five years (2023-2027) through the following four pillars: disaster risk knowledge and management, observation monitoring and forecasting, early warning communication and dissemination, and disaster preparedness and response capabilities, resisting increasingly extreme and dangerous weather. Early warning has significant social benefits in disaster prevention and reduction. Developing countries can avoid disaster losses that are ten times the cost of the system every year by spending hundreds of millions of dollars on early warning release systems. It is recommended to strengthen legal planning and streamline the various stages of early warning issuance, in order to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and authority of early warning issuance. It is to increase support for the Global Multi-hazard Alert System-Asia (GMAS-A), make GMAS-A a demonstration project of the United Nations Early Warning for All Executive Action Plan, and is give full play to the role of GMAS-A in disaster prevention and reduction in countries along the “the Belt and Road” and the world. At the same time, under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the negotiation topic of “early warning services for developing countries” should be actively established, and China’s best practices and experiences should be exported to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Key words: United Nations, Early warning, Four pillars
