CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT

Climate change is a devastating force, leading to a hungrier and more vulnerable world. It destabilizes economies, fuels conflict, cripples productivity, and weakens social structures.

At Global Emerge, we will work with the people and communities who are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, and those at the forefront of climate innovation, to find a sustainable way forward together.

The most vulnerable people in Somalia are disproportionately exposed to extreme weather events, more reliant on natural resources, and least able to cope with, and adapt to, negative environmental impacts.

When farmers suffer from drought, communities face devastating floods year after year, or entrepreneurs don’t have sustainable electricity to power their businesses, more complex crises arise.

Addressing the underlying challenges of climate change, water security, natural resource management, and access to energy is critical to supporting people in fragile places to adapt their lives to new risks, while transforming communities and economies over time. That’s why we will focus on climate solutions that deliver practical, meaningful change at the local level, then mobilize our partners and team to identify opportunities for scaling and replication.
