Climate early action initiative for Horn of Africa unveiled

A new initiative by the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre and Action Against Hunger seeks to safeguard around 250,000 people in Ethiopia, Somalia, and Djibouti from the devastating effects of both climate change and ongoing conflicts. This early action program aims to provide timely interventions and support to vulnerable populations, highlighting the urgent need for proactive measures in the face of worsening climate crises and regional instability. The collaboration underscores the importance of integrating climate and humanitarian responses to better prepare for and mitigate the impacts of these intertwined challenges.
