From Coast to Community: Building Resilience Through Early Warnings - Side Event, 2025 UN Ocean Conference.




As extreme weather events intensify and sea levels rise, coastal communities remain on the frontlines of the climate crisis. The UN Secretary-General's Early Warnings for All initiative aims to ensure that every person is protected from hazardous weather, water, and climate events by 2027 — but achieving this vision requires stronger local action.

The side event, co-hosted with WMO and UNDRR during the 2025 UN Ocean Conference (UNOC 2025) in Nice, France, will spotlight the critical role of mayors, local governments, and community leaders in building coastal resilience. It will explore how cities and municipalities are driving innovative early warning solutions to protect lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems from climate-related hazards.

Bringing together governments and UN agencies, as well as the private sector and civil society, the session will discuss pathways to strengthen early warning systems through localized leadership, policy innovation, public-private partnerships, and investment in climate adaptation.
