Extreme weather events, exacerbated by climate change, are displacing millions and
disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups such as migrants, refugees, and
internally displaced persons (IDPs). Despite growing awareness of these risks,
Early Warning and Early Action (EWEA) systems often fail to adequately account
for the specific vulnerabilities of displaced populations, leaving them at
heightened risk of disaster impacts.

This session, organized by IOM, IFRC, UNDRR, and WMO, will explore innovative approaches
to bridging these gaps, drawing on experiences from fragile, conflict, and
violence-affected (FCV) contexts. Through interactive discussions and case
studies from Somalia and other FCV countries, participants will examine
practical strategies to enhance inclusivity in EWEA systems. Key topics include
improving data collection, integrating displacement metrics into risk analysis,
and strengthening local coordination mechanisms.
