With the world´s attention on #COP27, it is imperative for governments to strengthen commitments to address the dire impacts of climate change.

Famine prevention begins in rural areas, at the center of the crisis where food producing communities are hardest hit by drought. Watch what @mattgutmanABC & team witnessed when they visited rural communities where FAO is bringing assistance in #Puntland: https://t.co/shMfROoWgz
As famine looms in Somalia & across the world, a record +205M people already face high acute hunger in 2022.
Through time-sensitive agri-assistance & #AnticipatoryAction we can fight hunger & bring people back from the brink.
Urgent funding is needed: https://t.co/ShKGCk5TOV
Somalia is on the brink of famine.
About 7.1 million people are food insecure and 1.5 million children under age 5 face acute malnutrition.
We appeal for additional, timely funding to enable humanitarians to scale up and prevent deaths. https://t.co/Vl5KLl6DNs
#FightFamine
I was pleased to join @UNReliefChief today in meeting with Prime Minister @HamzaAbdiBarre in #Mogadishu to discuss what more intl. partners can do to ensure the necessary support is provided to help bring #Somalia back from the edge of #famine - millions of lives are at risk.
Baidoa, #Somalia. I'm at the epicenter of the hunger crisis ravaging the country. I saw babies too weak to cry, and mothers who are still children themselves.
The silence of the international community is deafening.
