National Adaptation Plan of Somalia (2026–2030).

The National Adaptation Plan of Somalia (2026–2030) establishes Somalia’s national framework for strengthening climate resilience over the 2026–2030 period. The Plan identifies Somalia as highly exposed to droughts, floods, extreme heat, water scarcity, sea-level rise and coastal erosion, with particular impacts on agriculture, livestock, water resources, health, infrastructure, biodiversity, fisheries and displaced populations. The Plan sets out a long-term vision of a climate-resilient Somalia by 2050 and defines strategic goals including integration of climate resilience into development planning, protection of vulnerable and displaced populations, sustainable management of water, land and ecosystems, enhancement of infrastructure resilience, and strengthening of climate finance systems. It identifies sector-specific adaptation measures for climate-smart agriculture, drought-resistant crops, irrigation expansion, sustainable grazing, veterinary services, fisheries co-management, water harvesting, rehabilitation of the Juba and Shabelle river systems, resilient health infrastructure, disease surveillance, biodiversity restoration, mangrove rehabilitation, coastal protection, disaster risk reduction, renewable energy and climate education. It also provides state-level priorities for Banadir, Galmudug, Jubaland, Hirshabelle, South West State, Puntland and Somaliland, reflecting their distinct exposure to drought, flood, desertification, coastal erosion, water scarcity, displacement and health risks. The implementation framework assigns coordination responsibilities principally to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, with roles for federal member state ministries, the Ministry of Planning, Investment and Economic Development, the Ministry of Finance, line ministries, the Somali Disaster Management Agency, local governments, municipalities, civil society, the private sector and international partners.
