Kazakhstan Participates in Discussions on Early Warning Systems at COP31

On 11 November 2026, as part of the COP31 Climate Conference, a thematic event entitled “Impact-Based Forecasting and Early Warning Systems in Turkic States” was held. The event was jointly organized by the Turkish State Meteorological Service (TSMS) and the National Hydrometeorological Service of Azerbaijan.

The event, held at the Azerbaijan National Pavilion, brought together the heads of the meteorological services of Kazakhstan, Türkiye, Azerbaijan as well as representatives of international organizations and emergency management authorities.

Danara Alimbayeva, Director General of RSE “Kazhydromet”, delivered a presentation on “Impact-Based Forecasting and Early Warning Systems in Turkic States”.

Participants discussed the development of early warning systems, the exchange of experience among countries, and strengthening cooperation in forecasting hazardous hydrometeorological phenomena.

Particular attention was paid to the transition towards impact-based forecasting. This approach makes it possible not only to provide advance warnings of hazardous events but also to assess their potential impacts on the population, infrastructure and the economy, enabling timely response measures to be taken.

The participants also considered ways to implement the UN initiative “Early Warnings for All”, strengthen technical capacity, and further enhance cooperation among the meteorological services of Turkic states.

The event served as a platform for exchanging experience and identifying future areas of regional cooperation in climate resilience and early warning systems.
