Why can't we better prepare for extreme weather? | Catherine Nakalembe

from TED Talks Daily

Thanks to advanced technology, we can now see droughts and crop failures months before they hit. So why are millions of people still going hungry? TED Fellow Catherine Nakalembe, director of the NASA Harvest program in Africa, exposes the blind spots that keep life-saving climate intelligence from reaching the communities it's designed to protect — and shares how to turn early warning into early action. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
