Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems (CREWS) in Southeast Asia
The Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems (CREWS) program initiative is a financial mechanism to establish risk-informed early warning services and works directly with countries to increase the availability of, and access to, early warning systems. CREWS programs are supported with three Implementing Partners: The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), the World Bank Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The CREWS project aims to strengthen the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) and National Disaster Management Offices (NDMOs) in Lao PDR and Cambodia by addressing gaps in their early warning systems.
Integrated Water Security Open Program (Proof of Concept stage)
The Integrated Water Security Open Program (IWSOP), an online platform and support facility, aims to mobilize action and activity in support of achieving water security goals and the implementation of IWRM (SDG) principles through the provision of a space for sharing of knowledge and expertise among different actors that engage in multi-stakeholder water resources management, and the development of human and financial capacity enabling real-time sharing of information, alignment of efforts, periodic updates of contribution and the establishment of a strategic and integrated approach for action and investment in the water sector leading to socioeconomic and environmental benefits in the Pan Asia region through increased investment in appropriate infrastructure, empowerment of marginalized or vulnerable groups, and more sustainable use of resources.
