Climate change continues to pose significant challenges to Somalia’s social, economic, and environmental systems. Increasing droughts, floods, land degradation, and water scarcity threaten livelihoods, food security, and long-term development. This policy brief explores practical strategies to strengthen climate resilience through improved governance, community-based adaptation, sustainable resource management, and climate-smart investments. Full Content Introduction Somalia is among the countries most vulnerable to climate-related risks. Recurrent droughts and extreme weather events continue to impact communities, agricultural production, livestock systems, and economic stability. Addressing climate challenges requires coordinated action involving government institutions, development partners, researchers, and local communities. Key Challenges Water Scarcity Limited access to sustainable water resources continues to affect rural and urban populations. Environmental Degradation Deforestation, land degradation, and unsustainable resource use increase vulnerability to climate shocks. Food Insecurity Climate-related disruptions continue to affect agricultural productivity and livestock livelihoods. Institutional Capacity Many institutions require additional technical and financial support to effectively manage climate adaptation programs. Strategic Opportunities KIPD identifies several priority areas for strengthening resilience: Climate-Smart Agriculture Sustainable Water Management Renewable Energy Expansion Community-Based Adaptation Programs Environmental Protection Initiatives Early Warning Systems Policy Recommendations Strengthen national climate governance frameworks.
