Tenth Anniversary of Devastating Earthquake, “Haiti Is One of the World’s Most Vulnerable Countries to Natural Hazards, Aggravated by Climate Change and Rising Sea Levels”
WMO is working with Haiti to improve its service delivery. Work is also being done to deepen the meteorological and hydrological service engagement and involvement with the disaster risk reduction community.
These efforts will be boosted this year by funding of US$1.5 million from the Climate Risk Early Warning Systems Initiative (CREWS). Established in 2015, CREWS has invested USD 42 million in projects in Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States and has mobilized an additional USD 130 million from public funds of other development partners.
CREWS was launched by France, Australia, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands at COP21 in Paris. Two additional countries have since joined, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
CREWS allows LDCs and SIDS to draw on the expertise of three partners: the World Bank and its Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction and Recovery, the World Meteorological Organization, that also hosts the CREWS Secretariat, and the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.
In 2017, WMO signed a contract with Météo France International to strengthening Haiti’s predictive capacity, ensuring the quality of aviation meteorological services and improving the observation network. Meteo France provided weather forecasting and warning service for Haiti from its office in Martinique for nearly 6 years after 2010.
“With the continued support of the international community, Haiti is striving to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including through strengthening the institutions that are so crucial to the wellbeing and prosperity of its people,” Mr. Guterres said.
Mr Taalas will participate in a commemoration in Geneva on 15 January with, among other participants, Haiti’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
