Future fit: Early Warning Early Action in a world of changing risk, Flagship Report 2026 (Policy Brief)
This brief for policy-makers is drawn from a new Climate Centre report, supported by the UK and Sweden, on best practice from across the anticipatory action community, identifying how systems and practices can be strengthened to remain effective as risks change, including under climate change. Across four practice-focused solution areas related to risk information, triggers, actions, implementation, and one solution area related to funding, we provide recommendations for practitioners, governments, scientists, policymakers and donors. The report focuses on AA plans for single and multiple climate hazards, epidemics and multi-risk contexts. It does not aim to cover all aspects of how AA should evolve in the future; it focuses only on how AA can be designed to address changing risks over time.
