In Somalia, climate change, conflict and fragility are closely linked. Recurrent droughts and floods put pressure on water, land and livelihoods, drive displacement, and can deepen tensions within and between communities. The link between climate and security is now widely recognized. The task ahead is to turn that recognition into action on the ground.
Hosted by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change of the Federal Republic of Somalia, this session looks at how Somalia is building climate, peace and security into national policy, planning and programmes. It brings together government, partners and practitioners to share what is working. The discussion covers conflict-sensitive adaptation, community resilience and coordination across institutions, and how international support can help Somalia move from policy to implementation for lasting peace and stability.
