'The AF fully commits to helping countries build resilience to #climatechange through an effective Early Warning System. We believe that this framework will further solidify our cooperation w/ Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) & the other climate funds." - Mikko Ollikainen

Today, at #COP28, Rode Kruis & @IFRC held a side event on Water at the Heart of Climate Action. Proud of our partnership with Rode Kruis UNDRR World Meteorological Organization Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) aiming at addressing climate-related risks. Water is life. But too much or too little water can disrupt people's lives.




Members of the Systematic Observations Funding Facility #SOFF from Austria’s Austrian Space Weather Office, GeoSphere Austria 🇦🇹 and China Meteorological Administration 🇨🇳 are helping Lao PDR’s #meteo observation service: Reliable #weather forecasting is a must for #climate adaptation and resilient development 🇱🇦


The effectiveness of any early warning system depends on the availability and quality of data. Unfortunately <10% of the required climate data is available from least developed states & #SIDS. I urge members at the 8th Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) steering cmte meeting to help close the data gap.

📣 NDF has decided to support the Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) with additional financing of EUR 6 million to close basic #Weather and #Climate observation gaps in #LDCs and #SIDS. ☁ Read more about the new commitment here ☁ lnkd.in/dsHKCar5



Our agreement with World Meteorological Organization UN Development UN Environment Programme will generate crucial information that will expand countries’ preparedness and resilience to climate change. This partnership also makes the IDB one of the first Multilateral Development Banks to access a UN-administered Multi-Partner Trust
