Questo progetto è attuato nell’ambito dell’iniziativa Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems (CREWS). Il CREWS opera per rafforzare e razionalizzare i sistemi e le capacità regionali e nazionali relativi alle previsioni meteorologiche, ai servizi idrologici, agli avvisi basati sull’impatto multirischio e alla fornitura di servizi per migliorare il processo decisionale.

Il contributo di K&I, realizzato nell’ambito dell’Accordo Quadro tra WMO, GWP e K&I relativo al Programma Associato sulla Gestione delle Alluvioni, consiste nel rafforzare la capacità degli attori locali di gestire efficacemente le alluvioni ad Antigua e Barbuda e in altre piccole isole dei Caraibi (maggio-settembre 2022), nonché nella Repubblica di Gibuti (luglio 2025 – luglio 2026). In entrambi i casi, le attività di K&I comprendono un workshop di formazione e la stesura di un “Manuale sulla gestione delle alluvioni a livello comunitario”. Inoltre, K&I collabora alla progettazione e alla realizzazione di un workshop di formazione regionale sull’integrazione della prospettiva di genere nei sistemi di allerta precoce “end-to-end” per la previsione delle inondazioni e la gestione integrata del rischio di inondazione nelle piccole isole dei Caraibi (agosto 2022), nonché di tre workshop di formazione nazionali sul medesimo tema nella Repubblica Democratica Popolare del Laos (marzo 2025), in Cambogia (aprile 2025) e a Gibuti (maggio 2026).
