LISTEN: Africa Aware: Building Somalia's climate resilience


Thursday October 10, 2024

In this episode, guests discuss ways to turn Somalia’s climate vulnerability to climate resilience.





For years now, Somalia has experienced the effects of not only climate change, but also climate extremes – oscillating between devastating droughts and fierce floods.

Ranked as the most climate-vulnerable country in the world, Somalia faces lasting environmental and socio-political challenges due to the frequent extreme climate events; furthermore, efforts to secure timely climate financing are hampered due to ongoing conflict in the country.

In this episode, Abdihakim Yusuf Ali Ainte and Maram Ahmed discuss ways to turn Somalia’s climate vulnerability to climate resilience. They explore the environmental and socio-political challenges brought by devastating climate events, which exacerbate ongoing conflict and humanitarian challenges such as food security, displacement, and poverty. They also discuss innovative climate financing methods for improved climate adaptation.
