Thursday, October 17, is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 2024, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the ongoing fight against poverty and the need for collective action to eliminate this pervasive issue. This day serves as a reminder that poverty is not only a global challenge but also a significant barrier to achieving social justice and sustainable development.
In this latest episode of Global Dispatches, we explore Anticipatory Action (AA), a transformative approach crucial in fragile and conflict-affected settings. Discover how this proactive approach shifts crisis management from reactive responses to anticipatory measures, emphasizing vital areas such as water management and climate resilience. These efforts are essential in alleviating poverty, empowering marginalized communities, and working toward a world where everyone can enjoy their basic human rights.
IWMI, Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and Resurgence experts will explain how early warning systems and timely interventions can save lives, reduce suffering and build the resilience of vulnerable communities.
Tune in to see how AA bridges the gap between early warnings and effective action, fostering collaboration and driving sustainable development in even the most challenging environments.
