**Responsibilities**:
Created in December 1999, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is the designated focal point in the United Nations system for the coordination of disaster reduction and to ensure synergies among the disaster reduction activities of the United Nations and regional organizations and activities in socio-economic and humanitarian fields. Led by the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction, UNDRR has around 100 staff located in its HQ in Geneva, Switzerland, and 5 regional offices and other field presences. Specifically, UNDRR coordinates international efforts in disaster risk reduction, and guides, monitors and reports on the progress of the implementation of the international strategy for disaster reduction, now the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, 2015-2030; campaigns to create global awareness of disaster risk reduction benefits and empower people to reduce their vulnerability to hazards; advocates for greater investments in disaster risk reduction to protect people's lives and assets, and for increased and informed participation of men and women of all stakeholder groups in reducing disaster risk; and informs and connects people by providing practical services and tools such as Prevention Web, publications on good practices, and by leading the preparation of the Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction and the organization of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction.
The Climate Risk Early Warning Systems (CREWS) is a specialized initiative that aims at saving lives, assets and livelihoods in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). It is a financing mechanism that is driven by the expertise and specialist networks of its implementing partners: The World Bank GFDRR (the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery), WMO (World Meteorological Organization) and UNDRR. In 2015, CREWS was announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, at the World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan. Later that year, CREWS was launched at the 21st Conference of Parties on Climate Change (COP21) in Paris by five countries - Australia, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands - with the mandate to work directly with countries at high risk to extreme climate events. Since then, UK DFID (Department for International Development) and Switzerland have joined CREWS, as well as Canada.
The CREWS Caribbean initiative - Strengthening Hydro-Meteorological and Early Warning Services - is a regional project that seeks to strengthen and streamline regional and national systems and capacity related to weather forecasting, hydrological services, multi-hazard impact-based forecasting and warnings and service delivery for enhanced decision-making. Similarly, the implementing partners together with major regional partners have finalized the preparation of A Strategic Roadmap for Advancing MHEWS (Multi-hazard Early Warning Systems) in the Caribbean 2020-2030. The Roadmap focusses on a set o
