UN calls for 'urgent' action on El Nino to protect the most vulnerable

The United Nations called Wednesday for urgent action to protect those most exposed to the impacts of the exceptionally strong El Nino weather phenomenon hitting the planet.

"Today, we are issuing a joint call for urgent and coordinated anticipatory action... We cannot stop El Nino, but we can prevent many of its worst human consequences," said Celeste Saulo, head of the UN's weather and climate agency.
