Closing the Gap: Climate Finance for Resilience in Fragile Settings

November 16, 2026 · 11:00 am – 12:00 pm Somali Pavilion

Somalia has made real progress on early warning and anticipatory action, but being prepared is not the same as being protected. Fragile and conflict-affected countries like Somalia face some of the worst climate shocks, yet they receive only a small share of global climate finance. Too often, the money arrives after a disaster rather than before it. This panel, led by the Somali Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA) in coordination with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, looks at the resilience finance gap. It asks why funding struggles to reach fragile settings, what pre-arranged and risk-based financing could change, and how partners can help turn early action into lasting protection for communities.

Organised by: Somali Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA), in coordination with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC).

Date: 16 November 2026 · 11:00 – 12:00 (TRT)
