technology related to early warning systems
and to mitigation programmes to developing
countries affected by natural disasters.
(a) Support efforts to prevent and mitigate the
impacts of natural disasters, including through
actions at all levels to:
- Provide affordable access to disaster-related
information for early warning purposes;
- Translate available data, particularly from global
meteorological observation systems, into timely

i) Develop and strengthen capacity at all levels to
collect and disseminate scientific and technical
information, including the improvement of early
warning systems for prediction of extreme weather
events, especially El Niño/La Niña, through the
provisions of assistance to institutions devoted to
addressing such events, including the International
Centre for the Study of the El Niño phenomenon.
j) Promote cooperation for the prevention and
mitigation of, preparedness for, response to and
recovery from major technological and other
disasters with an adverse impact on the
environment in order to enhance the capabilities of
affected countries to cope with such situations.
