Under the leadership of Lt. Gen. Bashir Mohamed Jama, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Somalia has established a Climate Finance Unit—a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing the country’s global standing on #ClimateJustice and bolstering national capacity for direct access to climate finance.

This development builds upon Somalia’s recent efforts, such as joining the Taskforce on Access to Climate Finance in December 2023 and establishing the National Climate Fund in June 2024 , demonstrating a commitment to addressing climate challenges and improving access to necessary financial resources.
