#FAO and partners visit Sabuun Barrage in Jowhar to verify engineering assessments and engage local authorities & communities.

#JOSP consortium is committed to implementation shaped by local priorities to boost agricultural production and reduce drought & flood risks.

[christophe hodder @HodderClimate]

@FAOSomalia This is such an important program!

[christophe hodder @HodderClimate]

Due to the right wing nature and unbiased approach of this platform and specifically @elonmusk I am going to come off this platform and move over to bluesky. I urge all #Somali colleagues to do the same to all for free speech to continue.

8/8 Cautiously engaging Al-Shabaab on shared climate challenges could pave the way for peace. By prioritising water and services in all areas, Somalia’s government can meet people’s needs, build trust, and lay the groundwork for dialogue with the militants to end the conflict.

7/8 Even with a political deal or Al-Shabaab's decline, climate change will still challenge Somalia. Tackling its impacts eases hardship, weakens Al-Shabaab, and helps prevent future threats. @OmarSMahmood and I break things down here.#ClimateResilience https://t.co/RJhg7WsY8n

6/8 Our Future of Conflict team provided top-notch quantitative data and analysis to shed light on the links between conflict and climate stresses. Check the Data Annex of the Report, where we explain our metholodgy📊 #ConflictAnalysis https://t.co/x6T7zBH9F6

5/8 Deforestation in Somalia for wood burning and charcoal production has led to devastating consequences. It worsens drought and floods and has also funded the militant group Al-Shabaab in the past. We filmed bags of charcoal and wood transported outside Kismayo.

The @MoECC_Somalia and @MoEWRSo and @SoDMA_Somalia are working so hard and are seeing progress !

[Nazanine Moshiri @nazaninemoshiri]

4/8 Progress is happening: The Ministries of Environment and Water are working hard, supported by some regional ministries and @HodderClimate @iom_somalia @FAOSomalia @DKinSomalia @FCDOGovUK @GermanyInAfrica is + others. I met with Somalia's Disaster Management Agency (SODMA).

[christophe hodder @HodderClimate]

This is what an @FAOSomalia @theGCF program is rally going to look at next year. How do we help adaption to this climate disaster !

[Nazanine Moshiri @nazaninemoshiri]

3/8 Somalia needs sand dams, solar irrigation & flood defences to safeguard livelihoods. A $95M Green Climate Fund project offers hope to rebuild water systems & restore land. Transparency is crucial for future investments. We visited a @WorldVision project near Baidoa.🌍💧

[christophe hodder @HodderClimate]

We equally have seen this in the river breakages and water control systems in hirshabelle state !

2/8 Al-Shabaab uses water strategically during extreme weather events like the 2023 drought. Our “Mapping Conflict” video shows how the group builds dams and canals to control resources and pressure people in areas it dominates. https://t.co/g3bkYTbLj9
