This applies for the entire chain of activities necessary for achieving climate-resilient development: collecting, processing and interpreting climate data, climate forecasting and projections, using the data to identify sector and local climate vulnerabilities, and identifying priority areas for policy action. Development cooperation providers can help establish regional partnerships to pool resources and support national governments in incorporating regional forecasts into national disaster-mitigation programmes to provide warnings. For example, the Regional Integrated and Multi-Hazard Early Warning System works with governments across South and East Asia to incorporate regional forecasts into national disaster-mitigation programmes (Webster, 2013).
