2025 Asia Pacific Climate Services Workshop

In recent years, the socio-economic impacts of climate change have exceeded earlier projections, prompting the international community to urgently seek responses. This upcoming event will focus on the theme "Early Warnings for All" (EW4All). Achieving the goals of EW4All requires collaborative supports from scientific and technological innovation, policy frameworks, and financial investments.

Advancements in AI, satellite and space technologies, and digital twins are opening new pathways to address climate-related challenges. AI-driven models improve the accuracy and accessibility of forecasts, offering particularly benefits to low-income countries by supporting the development of cost-effective weather prediction systems. Improvements in satellite technology have greatly strengthened Earth observation capabilities, increasing the accuracy and frequency of climate monitoring and forecasting. Immersive technologies such as digital twins offer interactive, data-driven platform for simulating floods, droughts, and land degradation — improving decision-making and stakeholder engagement. Nevertheless, the EW4All initiative continues to face several challenges, including data gaps, limited financial resources, insufficient capacity in applying emerging technologies, and long-term governance issues.

The 2025 APCSW aims to serve as a platform for global experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to exchange insights on climate adaptation and early warning technologies. This event will also explore the importance of public-private partnerships and capacity building, with the goal of accelerating EW4All implementation in Asia and create future opportunities for international cooperation.
