[NECJOGHA @NecjoghaNews]

It's time to take action on climate change! Join us for the 63rd Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum (#GHACOF63) for the March to May 2023 season.
Together, we can work towards a more sustainable future for our planet and all those who call it home

ℹ️ Take climate action, address #global warming, and save crops like wheat, rice, corn, and potato which contribute up to 60% of global calorie needs and are significant components of #foodsecurity. @UEaDjibouti

[ICPAC @IGAD_CPAC]

Climate #disasters are no longer threats on the horizon the call to action is not a future issue anymore.

ℹ️ ICYMI: Looming food insecurity as 50 million people are projected to face severe acute food insecurity by the end of 2022. The failure of four consecutive rainfall seasons over the last 3 yrs has pushed communities in ASAL areas over the brink.

📹 22% of the world’s food insecure people live in the #HornOfAfrica. As the worst drought in over 40yrs is likely to continue, over 50 million people will experience severe hunger this year. A wake-up call for humanitarian development actors, and time to adopt a new approach.

[RICCAMA @ICPAC_RICCAMA]

The #IGAD Regional Climate Change Strategy (IRCCS) endorsed in August 2022 aspires to support & strengthen climate change actions in the #IGAD region. It covers several areas including; #adaptation, #resilience & #mitigation. @UEaDjibouti

Climate change-induced #disasters including #floods & #droughts continue to worsen lives & livelihoods in the #IGAD region as global warming reaches unprecedented levels, strengthening resilience to climate-proof economic activities at various levels is urgent. @UEaDjibouti

[RICCAMA @ICPAC_RICCAMA]

Recurrent #drought makes communities extremely vulnerable to water scarcity, food insecurity & economic losses. The situation is dire, especially among the #pastoral communities. @D2E_Project works with local communities to provide climate services in building #resilience

[RICCAMA @ICPAC_RICCAMA]

ℹ️ @D2E_Project addresses the challenges of water scarcity & food insecurity under climate change in the Horn of #Africa Drylands, by facilitating community-centered #Adaptation & resilience to #climate change impacts.
