Effective Early Warning News Today

Indias flood early warning systems (EWSs) only cover a third of people exposed to extreme flood events, according to a report by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW). Although 12 states are highly exposed to floods, only three of them have good access to EWSs, responding to a gap in planning. The report emphasised climate action and investment in EWSs and involving local communities.

The United Nations Develop Programme (UNDP) in 2021 reported that insurgency-related conflicts claimed the lives of almost 350,000 in the Northeastern part of Nigeria up till the end of 2020.
