Appeal for Financial Support: Strengthening MHEWC’s Global Early Warning and Climate-Risk Intelligence Services

The Multi-Hazard Early Warning System Development & Implementation Center (MHEWC) (www.mhewc.org) and Global Climate Services (GLOCS) (www.glocs.org) have emerged as internationally recognized as one of the largest knowledge-sharing platforms dedicated to multi-hazard and climate-risk intelligence, risk-informed governance, and the design, development, and implementation of end-to-end, people-centered Early Warning Systems (EWS).

MHEWC platform currently attracts over 700,000 monthly visitors from more than 160 countries, reflecting growing global demand for accessible, evidence-based knowledge, technical expertise, and innovative solutions. MHEWC is increasingly serving as a global policy, programmatic, and technical knowledge hub, supporting the institutionalization, localization, and effective governance of Early Warning Systems, particularly in climate-vulnerable countries and communities.

Urgent Funding Requirement: US$100,000

To respond to growing global demand, prevent service disruptions, strengthen operational sustainability, and ensure uninterrupted access to its expanding repository of technical knowledge, tools, and resources, MHEWC urgently seeks US$100,000 in financial support for three strategic investments:

1. High-performance dedicated server infrastructure: Upgrade and migrate existing platforms to secure, scalable, high-performance hosting infrastructure to ensure reliable global access, enhanced cybersecurity, faster data processing, and uninterrupted service delivery.

2. Development of ICT- and AI-enabled Early Warning Decision Support Systems (DSS): Design and develop interoperable, sector-specific decision-support applications integrating multi-hazard risk intelligence, impact-based forecasting, anticipatory action, and localized early warning services to strengthen evidence-based decision-making.

3. Subscription to essential data services and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs): Secure reliable access to critical meteorological, hydrological, climate, geospatial, forecasting, and alerting data services to support real-time risk monitoring, early warning dissemination, and web-based decision-support applications.

Call for Partnership and Financial Support

We invite multinational corporations, technology companies, development partners, bilateral and multilateral donors, philanthropic foundations, research institutions, international organizations, and other stakeholders to contribute financially or through strategic technology partnerships, infrastructure support, software development, and access to essential data services.

Your contribution will directly support the development of an accessible, innovative, and sustainable global knowledge and technology platform, strengthening national and local institutional capacities to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to climate-related and multi-hazard risks.

With this support, MHEWC aims to expand its role as a global technical and knowledge hub for ICT- and AI-enabled, impact-based, people-centered Early Warning Systems, helping translate scientific knowledge, technological innovation, and risk intelligence into timely decisions, anticipatory action, and measurable reductions in disaster losses and damages.

We welcome your partnership and financial support in advancing this critical global initiative.
