Climate change in Somalia refers to changes in the climate in Somalia and the subsequent response, adaption and mitigation strategies of the country. Somalia is the second most climate-vulnerable country in the world.[1] The country has seen an increase in severe climatic events since 1990, with three major droughts since 2010, recurring flooding and more regular locust swarms that destroy crops. By 2080, it’s expected temperatures will rise by 3.4 degrees Celsius, with an additional 152 very hot days per year (where the maximum temperatures will surpass 35 degrees Celsius).[2]
Climate change is expected to put significant strain on already scarce water and agricultural resources within the country, threatening the national security and political stability.[3]
