    Somalia’s stability is under constant threat from interconnected challenges, including resource conflicts, livelihood insecurity, volatile food prices, natural disasters, socioeconomic fragility, armed conflict, and weak governance. These internal pressures are compounded by external geopolitical dynamics, making it critical to integrate climate-sensitive programming into all sectors. Applying a climate lens allows policymakers and practitioners to better understand and respond to the complex interplay of climate, security, and development challenges in Somalia. Recent UN-sponsored research highlights the need for integrated strategies that deliver both climate resilience and peace. This means climate security should not be siloed within peacebuilding efforts but embedded across humanitarian, development, peace, and security programming. In Somalia, climate stressors exacerbate natural resource disputes, famine risks, and territorial control struggles, demanding greater coordination and data-sharing.
