Arusha. Governments, meteorological agencies and humanitarian organisations have called for greater investment in early warning systems, stronger government leadership and sustainable financing to help communities act before climate disasters strike.
The appeal was made during the Fourth World Meteorological Organization (WMO) International Workshop on Operational Climate Prediction (OCP4) in Arusha, where experts stressed that accurate weather forecasts must be translated into practical action to reduce the impacts of droughts, floods and other climate-related hazards.
