Upgrading stations and data systems to deliver timely, reliable forecasts and early warnings that protect lives and livelihoods nationwide.
In Solomon Islands, the removal of unexploded wartime ordnance is a critical first step in strengthening weather and climate services.
The ability to anticipate hazards before they strike is crucial to protecting lives and economies. This brochure (January 2026) outlines UNDP's service offer to countries to strengthen climate information and early warning systems, including main areas of support and examples from across the portfolio.
With SOFF support, newly trained observers are strengthening weather services, aviation safety, and early warning nationwide.
A pioneering finance instrument aimed to strengthen early warnings worldwide seeks initial capitalization of US$200 million.
Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense. Climate information and early warning systems are turning risk into resilience.
As climate threats rise, young Solomon Islanders train as weather observers to strengthen forecasts and safeguard lives nationwide.
Through SOFF, Meteo Rwanda, in partnership with UNDP has successfully upgraded three Global Basic Observing Network (GBON) weather stations in Karongi, Nyagatare, and Ngoma.
The SOFF-funded AMOS RD project will help the Solomon Islands’ Meteorological Services align with GBON standards for better weather data.
