Climate, Health and Community Resilience: Understanding Somalia’s Planetary Health Crisis
13 November 2026 · 15:00–16:00 (TRT) · Somalia Pavilion, COP31, Antalya, Türkiye
Climate change is an immediate and growing public-health challenge across Somalia and the Horn of Africa, yet the communities carrying the heaviest burden are too often excluded from shaping responses. Droughts and flooding disrupt safe water and pastoral livelihoods, drive displacement and contribute to disease outbreaks. This 60-minute panel brings together frontline experience and youth perspectives to identify practical, community-centered approaches to climate-health resilience, connecting realities on the ground with policy, adaptation planning, partnerships and climate-finance priorities, and positioning Somali communities as active contributors to solutions.
Organized by: Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC)
