Each year, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change organizes and conducts the Somaliland Climate Conference, which involves exchanging ideas, exploring how climate change is affecting the Somaliland community, and addressing the challenges the climate change poses to the community pastoral, agropastoral, and urban people.

The conference was held at Ambassador on November 20–21, 2023.

HEFO is one of the local NGOs participating and attending the meeting. More than 100 organizations, including the UN, INGOs, and LNGOs, attended the meeting and shared their experiences of climate change and how to tackle the hazards that climate change makes a part of livelihood.

Climate change is all that matters and affects all kinds of livelihoods and human beings. It is a joint effort that one country or community can defeat. It needs a more effective collaboration between all countries in the world to unite against all harmful effects of nature, land, sea, and air, on which all life depends.

Africa has not much contributed to the emissions but suffers the most damage and hazards that climate change causes. It is better that developed countries unite and contribute green energy to save the next generation.

Ministry of MoECC Marwo Shukri requested that all stakeholders plan to protect the environment to save the lives of millions.

The scholars shared the papers, which focus on the effects of climate change on all parts of livelihood.

More discussions between the participants to attain a common goal and findings that contribute to managing the effects of climate change have been addressed.

HEFO is standing to protect the environment and contribute efforts to manage climate change by increasing the knowledge of the community and encouraging any aspect of knowledge that reduces emissions and protects the environment to become free from all hazards.

HEFO will continue to encourage the adaptation and mitigation of climate change and how communities deal with the stress, shocks, and uncertainty that caused climate change.

Building resilience is one of the key ways to minimize the damage and effects of climate change.
