The UN's plan for every person on the planet to be covered by early warning systems by 2027 will require more data and expertise. | News24_Business

RICHARD BOUHET / AFP

With a relatively low price tag of $3.1 billion, the UN's plan hopes to implement the simple principle of early warning systems: assess risks using meteorological data, forecast impending problems using modelling, prepare populations ahead of time, and send out alerts to those expected to be impacted.

After risks are identified, getting those alerts to remote populations poses possibly the biggest hurdle. While church bells, loudspeakers and sirens are still used as warning systems in many isolated places, alerts sent via radio, TV and SMS have become the norm. Floods and droughts account for 75% of climate-related disasters, which are expected to increase further due to global warming.
