**Responsibilities**:
Somalia has been and continues to face an increasing number of threats due to climate change multiplied by extensive environmental degradation, unsustainable land use, widespread deforestation which worsen cyclical droughts and floods. All these factors play a major role in intensifying conflict amid poverty, political instability, and insecurity. Flooding along the Shabelle Watershed has led to death, displacement, destruction of agricultural land and outbreaks of water-borne diseases. Extreme weather conditions have been increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change. Recurrent floods (and droughts) underscore the need for nature focused interventions to address water and land mismanagement, riverbank breakages, soil erosion and degradation that increase flood risks and food insecurity. Conflict management will benefit from disaster risk approaches, environmental mediation, and resilient water resource management in times of scarcity due to droughts. The gains made through sustained humanitarian actions will be compromised if flood and drought risk continue to be high among the riverine communities along the Shabelle (especially among farmers and agro-pastoralists) with subsequent negative impacting political, social and peacebuilding efforts. According to the 2021 Fact sheet on Somalia by Sipri “There is clear evidence that climate impacts like droughts and floods are worsening livelihood conditions in Somalia, marginalizing affected groups and contributing to grievances and community tensions: with implications for ongoing conflict”. The current UN in Somalia’s mandate from the UN Security Council states: “further recognising the adverse effects of climate change, other ecological changes, natural disasters, among other factors, on the stability of Somalia, including through drought, desertification, land degradation and food insecurity”.

The Federal Government of Somalia has recently setup the new Ministry of Environment and Climate Change with a clear mandate to support adaptation and environmental sustainability. Being a new entity there is a request to support the capacity building of the Ministry to enable it to achieve the goals set out by the setting up of this important Government department.
