Webinar 1: Monitoring Extreme Weather in the Global South

For about a decade now, the Earth has been living through its hottest years since the pre-industrial period. This has triggered a spate of extreme weather events that have been more intense, frequent and difficult to predict. While it is critical to track and monitor such events and the loss and damage that they lead to, it is equally important to focus on effective and useful early warning systems that can inform communities of impending disasters, so that precautionary measures can be taken.

We invite you to the first webinar in our series of pre-COP28 online briefings – on monitoring and forecasting extreme weather in the countries of the Global South. We would also be unveiling an updated version of our Extreme Weather Database in this webinar.

 CSE and COP28
