Minister Khadija Mohamed Al-Makhzoumi has traveled to the United States to attend the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and a crucial climate change event.

The Minister of Environment and Climate Change will take part in the New York Climate Week.

Her participation in both events highlights Somalia’s growing commitment to addressing climate change and pursuing sustainable development.

Al-Makhzoumi’s engagement with global stakeholders at these events offers an opportunity to enhance international cooperation.

It also allows her to advance climate action and urge the international community to support initiatives tailored to Somalia’s unique environmental challenges.

This aligns with Somalia’s efforts to implement its National Adaptation Plan and strengthen its resilience to climate-related risks, such as droughts, floods, and desertification.
