"Strengthening Climate Governance: A Collective Response to Emerging Challenges"

Climate Change remains one of the biggest threats to our existence, potentially reversing some of the advances made in working toward a more just and equitable world.

 

In East Africa, too many people have a fear about the scarcity of rain and water and also what to feed their families that evening, it is challenging to build a social compact around Climate Change. It falsely appears to be a problem that we only have to worry about in the future.

In Somaliland and Somalia context, Civil Society Organizations supply many of the services the government is supposed to provide. CSOs are essential partners in understanding and communicating community needs; they essentially organize around overlooked issues affecting their communities with the collaboration of government institutions including Ministry of Agriculture and Climate Change.

CDG identifies that one of the climates and development linked responses that hold specific opportunities is facilitating cross-sectoral relationships. This has the potential to unlock resources and expertise in addressing community-driven and climate-related development challenges.
