Climate change is turbo-charging Somalia’s problems - but there's still hope

Despite being plagued by decades of conflict and climate-induced crises, Somalia's top climate official, Abdihakim Ainte, believes the country is "fixable."

Climate change, worsening issues like drought and flooding, has intensified the challenges faced by Somalia.

The country, contributing minimally to global carbon emissions, suffers from severe droughts and floods, exacerbating food and water shortages.

Displacement and malnutrition are rampant, with 1.5 million children acutely malnourished.

Despite these challenges, local efforts in renewable energy and small-scale entrepreneurship offer a glimmer of hope. Continued international support is crucial for Somalia's recovery and resilience.
