UN chief seeks universal early-warning coverage for climate disasters_我的网站
一 | United Nations, Oct 14 (UNI) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he will soon launch a plan for universal early-warning coverage for climate disasters.
In a video message for the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, Guterres on Thursday said climate disasters are hurting countries and economies like never before. Ever-rising greenhouse gas emissions are supercharging extreme weather events across the planet.
Yet, the world is failing to invest in protecting the lives and livelihoods of those on the front line. Those who have done the least to cause the climate crisis are paying the highest price. Entire populations are being blindsided by cascading climate disasters without any means of prior alert, he said.
"People need adequate warning to prepare for extreme weather events. That is why I am calling for universal early-warning coverage in the next five years," he said.
Guterres said early-warning systems and the ability to act on them are proven life-savers, noting that he will launch an action plan to provide early-warning systems for all within five years at the UN Climate Change Conference in Egypt next month.
He urged governments, international financial institutions and civil society to support such systems.
"On this International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, I call on all countries to invest in early-warning systems and support those who lack capacity. Extreme weather events will happen. But they do not need to become deadly disasters," said Guterres.

人们被建议不要在不住的房间里使用加热器或开灯，不要给电子设备和电动汽车充电，并推迟使用洗衣机、烘干机和洗碗机等家电。
Transpower表示：“预计明天早上会很冷，人们应该待在住着的房间里，开加热器保持房间的温度。不过，可以考虑在早上7点到9点之间稍微降低一点温度（降低1-2度）。”
如有必要，供电公司可能会采取措施临时停止给热水器供电。
Transpower的一位发言人告诉英文《先驱报》，能源行业的主要成员今天上午召开了紧急会议。
他说，今天下午将召开另一次紧急会议，以尽力确保有足够的电力来满足需求。
“我们一直在与（能源）行业进行对话，以让他们更多地（发电）。”
Transpower的通知提到了电力不足的后果：“系统运营商可能需要管理需求。”
Transpower表示，主要工业用电用户也被要求减少用电量。
由于医疗原因依赖电力的人被告知要有备用计划，并在紧急情况下拨打111。
