At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference on July 26, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) launched MAZU, a new global early warning initiative. Presented against a backdrop of escalating climate threats, MAZU aims to knit together satellite monitoring, AI-powered forecasts and community alerts into a seamless real-time service network.
MAZU operates under the UN's Early Warnings for All (EW4All) umbrella, which seeks to protect everyone on Earth from hazardous weather, water or climate events by the end of 2027. By uniting meteorological agencies, tech providers and local communities, the initiative promises to expand coverage and deliver life-saving alerts faster than ever before.
For entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts, MAZU opens doors to innovation – developers can integrate real-time early warnings into apps, deploy community alert systems and build predictive tools. Thought leaders and changemakers see MAZU as a model of public-private partnership, bridging policy, science and grassroots action to drive climate resilience.
Whether you're a young global citizen tracking climate innovation, a digital nomad planning safe travels, or a sports fan in a region prone to severe weather, MAZU's launch signals a shift toward shared responsibility. As climate threats grow, this initiative charts a path for communities worldwide to receive timely alerts and act faster.
