The Validation Workshop for Somalia's NDC 3.0 with Federal Government Institutions has successfully concluded in Mogadishu today, marking a key step in the broader validation process!

This crucial national consultation achieved its objective of validating key outputs and components of Somalia's climate action plan with federal stakeholders. We extend sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to this vital collective effort.

A key message from the NDC 3.0 Validation Workshop today: Somalia's national GHG emissions more than tripled between 2016 and 2024, highlighting the urgent need for transformative action. In response, Somalia's NDC 3.0 targets a significant 34% GHG emissions reduction by 2035.

This ambitious goal requires integrated actions and substantial investment for a climate-resilient Somalia.
