The conference provided an important platform to explore how climate change intersects with peacebuilding and security, highlighting that sustainable peace in Somalia cannot be achieved without addressing the environmental stressors that fuel fragility. In my intervention, I emphasized the importance of making use of all available water resources in the face of a changing climate. Attending the PDRC Annual Peace Conference in Garowe for the first time was both an enriching professional experience and a deeply personal reminder of the importance of dialogue in fragile contexts. The conference reaffirmed that peacebuilding in Somalia cannot be separated from efforts to adapt to climate change and manage natural resources more equitably.
