PUSAN at COP16 in Riyadh

We are at COP16 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Led by our Director, Abdirabi Mohamed, our delegation is engaging with global leaders, organizations, and experts to address the critical challenges of drought, land degradation, and sustainable land management.

For Somalia, this is a vital opportunity to advocate for climate resilience, reforestation efforts, and empowering communities to protect and restore our land. PUSAN is committed to ensuring Somalia’s voice is heard in shaping solutions for a sustainable future.

We’re excited to be organizing a Pre-COP29 Youth Training Workshop in Somalia, bringing together passionate Somali climate activists to prepare for this year’s global climate discussions. This workshop is a collaboration between United Beyond Borders (UBB) and PUSAN.

We are very appreciate to the YALI RLC EA - Alumni Chapter of Somalia for being hosted this workshop.

The goal is to equip Somali youth with knowledge and skills to engage more effectively in climate action and policy. It’s a chance to connect with other young leaders, learn about climate negotiation and advocacy, and get ready to make a strong impact on the international stage.

Looking forward to seeing the incredible ideas that come out of this workshop!
