An evening reception hosted by the Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems (CREWS) initiative and the Risk-informed Early Action Partnership

11 November @ 6:30 pm 7:30 pm Brazil

This evening reception will provide an opportunity to come together in an informal setting to celebrate milestones of the past ten years of CREWS and six years of REAP; and look into the future as both kickstart their 2030 Strategy. Partners are coming together to discuss impactful risk-informed early warning and early action in the most climate-vulnerable regions of the world. Countries and regions will highlight how cross-border collaboration is critical and how we can work to ensure we deliver for vulnerable populations over the coming years. Following these short interventions, participants are welcome to relax over food and drinks and network in an informal setting, forging new links and collectively building momentum for the future of early warning and early action.
