JO-CREWSnet empowers vulnerable communities with evidence-based actions for climate adaptation.
Global climate change is already exacting a heavy toll on vulnerable nations around the world. To survive and thrive amid intensifying climate impacts, affected populations will need a new, proactive planning and intervention strategy.
The Jameel Observatory Climate Resilience Early Warning System Network (JO-CREWSnet) empowers people to make informed climate adaptation decisions to minimize loss of life, livelihood, and property by combining,
- leading-edge climate forecasting,
- local and regional data,
- socioeconomic analysis, and
- innovative resilience services
Beginning in Bangladesh and Sudan, we are working with local partners to improve climate resilience by developing tools, methods, and adaptation interventions that are extensible to other climate-vulnerable populations.
- In Bangladesh, lives and livelihoods are threatened by tropical cyclones, extreme heatwaves, rising seas, flooding, salinity intrusion, and other climate impacts.
- In Sudan, we are focusing on rising temperatures and food insecurity.
