8/8 Cautiously engaging Al-Shabaab on shared climate challenges could pave the way for peace. By prioritising water and services in all areas, Somalia’s government can meet people’s needs, build trust, and lay the groundwork for dialogue with the militants to end the conflict.

5/8 Deforestation in Somalia for wood burning and charcoal production has led to devastating consequences. It worsens drought and floods and has also funded the militant group Al-Shabaab in the past. We filmed bags of charcoal and wood transported outside Kismayo.

2/8 Al-Shabaab uses water strategically during extreme weather events like the 2023 drought. Our “Mapping Conflict” video shows how the group builds dams and canals to control resources and pressure people in areas it dominates. crisisgroup.org/global/mappi…

The #ParisAgreement goal of 1.5 is mathematically possible. Just. NDCs 3.0 can be nothing less than truly ambitious. Investments in solar, wind & forestry. Tackling methane, construction & cooling. And much more. #COP29 call to action is clear. @UNEP stands ready to support.
