Spot on @NimoA_Hassan. It would take climate and conflict-sensitive funding commensurate with the impact of climate change. And many countries need to do better to this end.
Conflict-affected communities face unique climate risks. Meaningful local participation is essential to scaling indigenous solutions, addressing conflict drivers, & shaping inclusive, conflict-sensitive funding mechanisms for integrated programs. #ClimateActionNow#COP29

.@SaveChildrenSO is outraged and deeply saddened by the news of the killing of five children in a learning center in central Somalia.
We call on authorities in Somalia to protect children from harm and violence at all times.
Children are not a target during conflict.
