BAKU, Azerbaijan — At the COP29 climate summit here, Mohamud Moalim Abdulle, Chairperson of Somalia’s Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA), delivered a critical speech addressing the looming threat of the La Niña weather phenomenon in East Africa.
Abdulle, part of the Somali delegation, emphasized the urgent need for international cooperation to mitigate the effects of La Niña, which could exacerbate drought conditions in the already vulnerable region.
“We stand at a critical juncture where the potential for drought could devastate agriculture, water resources, and communities,” Abdulle stated, calling for enhanced early warning systems and increased climate resilience strategies.
His remarks come at a time when discussions at the summit are focusing on climate finance and adaptation measures for countries most affected by climate change.
Abdulle’s plea for support highlights the broader challenge of climate equity, where less-developed nations face disproportionate impacts from global climate shifts.
