China Expands MAZU Climate Early Warning System for Global Cooperation

April 29, 2026
China has expanded its MAZU early warning system for weather-related disasters to support international climate cooperation. The China Meteorological Administration said the system, which combines satellites, radar, and AI, is now used by over 40 national meteorological agencies.

China Meteorological Administration has expanded its MAZU early warning system to strengthen international cooperation on extreme weather and climate risk management, announced in a press release.

The MAZU system, named after the sea goddess believed to protect coastal communities, integrates satellite monitoring, radar networks, and artificial intelligence models to deliver multi-hazard alerts. The acronym stands for multi-hazard, alert, zero-gap, and universal, reflecting its goal of inclusive forecasting.

Since 2024, nearly 1,000 participants from over 100 developing countries have taken part in China's training programs on early warning technologies. Over 40 national meteorological agencies now use MAZU-based services through cloud platforms, and customized systems have been deployed in seven countries, including Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Mongolia.

The World Meteorological Organization has expressed support for the initiative as China plans to deepen collaboration with United Nations agencies and other partners in disaster prevention, climate adaptation, food security, and humanitarian response. Future steps include joint research, expert exchanges, and targeted projects to improve infrastructure and align standards for broader global use of the MAZU system.
