The Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative aims to ensure universal protection from hazardous hydrometeorological, climatological and related environmental events through life-saving multi-hazard early warning systems, anticipatory action and resilience efforts by the end of 2027, as called for by the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres in 2022. 

Achieving this vision demands effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practices, which are crucial for guiding decision-makers, tracking progress, and demonstrating the real-world impact of early warning systems. 

In line with this objective, the Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative has established a comprehensive M&E framework that includes a set of global indicators and a structured approach to results-based management. This framework is instrumental in capturing the effectiveness of early warning systems by aligning diverse projects and programmes with four core pillars: disaster risk knowledge, detection and monitoring, dissemination and communication, and preparedness and response capabilities.
