For instance, the climate and early warning systems (CREWS) international initiative, launched in 2015, aims to increase the capacity of LDCs and SIDS to generate and communicate early warnings and risk information (WMO, 2018). These are expected to boost these countries’ resilience to changing climatic conditions and climate variability. In addition to mitigating disaster risks in the agricultural sector, strengthening emergency response and recovery systems can help limit the impacts of natural disasters on rural lives and livelihoods.
