The Risk-Informed Early Action Partnership (REAP) aims to drive a systemic shift towards early action to reduce the impacts of disasters, incl. investments in early warning systems infrastructure and institutions, building on existent initiatives. REAP targets aim among others at ensuring that investments in weather and forecast infrastructure translate into “last-mile” action.
SOFF contributes to the provision of foundational “upstream” weather and climate data and prediction products for evidence-based risk-informed early action. Major development institutions, including Multi-lateral Development Banks and UN organizations, will be SOFF implementing partners. This will ensure that GBON infrastructure and long-term data-sharing translate into improved early warnings and climate information services foundational to achieve REAP early action targets.
