“The stories of climate refugees in Dadaab exemplify the need for dignified, rights-based and sustainable solutions to the growing threat of climate-induced displacement.”
It's time for a robust, international legal framework to protect their rights.

Senegal’s bottom trawling fleet is one of the largest in West Africa – what it catches is exported to foreign markets, mainly in the 🇪🇺.

The #ClimateCrisis is driving a historic drought in Somalia.
Over 1 million people have been displaced so far, with many being forced to leave their homes & flee abroad to survive.
Many of these perilous journeys end at the Dadaab refugee camp where resource are scarce. 🧵
Somalia contributes 0.03% to greenhouse gas emissions.
But as I just witnessed, Somalis are among the greatest victims of the chaos caused by the climate crisis.
From Somalia today, my appeal to the world is clear: #ActNow to prevent catastrophe.

There are stories of hope.

Women must be empowered to get an education and take on leadership roles.
