MOGADISHU —<\/strong> Somalia\u2019s Minister of Planning, Investment and Economic Development has hailed the inauguration of IGAD\u2019s Centre for Climate Adaption and Environmental Protection (CAEP) in Somalia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having personally spearheaded and overseen the efforts to establish the centre in Mogadishu, Minister Gamal Mohamed Hassan was full of joy to see the realisation of the initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n

During his tenure as Somalia\u2019s Planning Minister, Minister Gamal has strived to see the re-operationalisation of crucial offices in Mogadishu by Somalia\u2019s key international partners and pivotal organisations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commenting on the IGAD climate centre opening in Mogadishu, Minister Gamal said that factoring in adaptation solutions to recurrent climate crises was a precursor to sustainable development, and expressed hope that the new centre would dedicate itself to producing relevant research information to tackle the climate crisis.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This IGAD Specialized Centre of Excellence for Climate Adaptation and Environmental Protection (CAEP) supports Somalia\u2019s ninth National Development Plan\u2019s (NDP-9) vision that aims to accelerate the resilience and adaptation of communities across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The establishment of the centre comes when Somalia and other IGAD member state countries are experiencing effects of climate change that include drought, flood, the locust invasion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
