Led by Crisis Group’s Future of Conflict Program, the Environmental Early Action and Risk Tracking Hub (EEARTH) is an innovative climate security early warning system for the Horn of Africa. Starting with pilot projects in South Sudan and Somalia, EEARTH will help identify early indications of deadly conflict stemming from climate shocks and encourage expeditious action to prevent it. The system aims to bridge the gap between climate analysis and crisis prevention, sounding the alarm and reaching affected populations with vital information sooner, faster and in a more targeted way.
