The COPE squad, Candy, Ollie, Ping and Eddy are a team of disaster risk reduction agents, travelling all over the world to teach children how to be ready and prepared for natural hazards and disasters. Make the difference, be ready!
Climate change can increase the intensity and, in some cases, the frequency of extreme environmental events, such as forest fires, hurricanes, heat waves, floods, droughts, and storms.
Join the COPE Squad on their snowy journey to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, where they meet weather experts to learn all about blizzards and the harsh winter conditions that affect the region. They visit schools and local communities to share their lifesaving DRR knowledge and help children to be ready and prepared for blizzards with the key message: Wrap up. Stay inside!
