I was honoured to officially open the 72nd Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum (GHACOF 72) in Nairobi and to engage with regional and global partners committed to advancing climate services for resilience and sustainable development.
Climate change is already shaping our development pathways, and strengthening climate services and early warning systems is no longer optional it is essential.
Kenya remains firmly committed to working with IGAD Member States, regional institutions, and international partners to ensure that climate information is translated into actionable insights that protect lives, livelihoods, and development gains across the Greater Horn of Africa.
Together, we must continue investing in science, partnerships, and people to build resilient communities for present and future generations. #GHACOF72 #ClimateActionKE
Acting ahead of crises using relevant early warning information can safeguard lives & livelihoods.
Drawing on insights from @FAO & partners, this guide outlines essential steps to establish an effective #AnticipatoryAction trigger mechanism for drought.

The #Somali Government, @WMO & #FAOSWALIM organized a stakeholders mapping workshop to discuss the status of existing hydrometeorological observation #Infrastructures & ongoing and planned provision of #Weather and climate information services (WCIS) in #Somalia.
Country Humanitarian Forum #Somalia#FAOSWALIM Highlights:
⏺Below-normal Deyr rainfall likely
⏺Above-normal temps may cause severe soil
moisture loss
⏺Poor crop & fodder productivity could worsen food
insecurity
⏺Forecast uncertainty shouldn't delay action
🚨 @FAO is important in the #EarlyWarningsForAll initiative spearheaded by @WMO and @UNDRR. Early warnings and seasonal climate outlooks are crucial for resilience, adaptation, and anticipatory action in agriculture.
