DUBAI, SONNA – In a stirring and impactful address at the COP28 climate summit, His Excellency President Dr. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud drew global attention to the acute climate challenges in Somalia. The President’s speech, marked by a tone of urgency and resolve, highlighted the devastating impact of recent floods in Somalia, which have affected over 2.4 million people.

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud vividly detailed the plight of affected communities, painting a stark picture of the challenges that climate change poses to vulnerable nations. His call for an urgent global response underscored the immediate and severe nature of these challenges.

Central to his address was the issue of climate finance disparity. President Hassan emphasized the critical need for damage funds, underscoring the financial burden that climate disasters place on nations like Somalia. He called for a more equitable distribution of resources and support, pointing out the gaps in current climate finance mechanisms.

The President’s speech served as a powerful reminder of the real and immediate consequences of climate change. His message was clear: vulnerable nations bear the brunt of climate impacts and require concerted global efforts for mitigation and adaptation.

This address at COP28 is expected to resonate with leaders and policymakers worldwide, highlighting the need for unified action and support. President Mohamud’s words were not just a plea but a call to action, urging the global community to recognize and address the inequities in climate change impacts and responses.

As the summit continues, the focus on equitable support and action is anticipated to shape the discussions and outcomes, with President Mohamud’s address being a pivotal moment in these crucial global deliberations.
