Launching Somalia’s National Climate Change Action Plan
11 November 2026 · 03:00–04:30 (TRT) · Somalia Pavilion, Stand B175

Somalia’s National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2025–2030 provides a common implementation framework for the country’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0). It connects adaptation and mitigation priorities with sectoral actions, institutional responsibilities, financing needs, and systems for tracking results. The plan also aligns climate action with the National Transformation Plan 2025–2029.

Recurrent droughts and floods threaten livelihoods, food and water security, infrastructure, and ecosystems. Their effects interact with displacement, poverty, and conflict, placing burdens on vulnerable communities. The NCCAP therefore prioritizes adaptation, supports mitigation benefits where feasible, and embeds gender equality, social inclusion, conflict sensitivity, and local ownership.

A launch on the margins of COP31 would give Somalia an international platform to present this integrated approach, demonstrate national leadership, and invite partners to support implementation. The event would connect the plan’s priorities with practical opportunities for finance, technical assistance, and coordinated delivery.
