Somalia - Increased Resilience of Vulnerable Households, Especially Women and Youth, in the face of climate shocks
Projections indicate Somalia faces a nearly 2°C increase in maximum daily temperatures, threatening crop productivity thresholds and livestock welfare even further.

An assessment by FAO’s SWALIM revealed that the causes of land degradation in Somalia include overgrazing, deforestation for fuelwood and charcoal production, and poor agronomic practices.
