Somalia faces sharp surge in flood displacement as climate worsens

[Deeq A.]

Mogadishu (HOL) — Somalia is at growing risk of climate-induced displacement, with floods expected to drive tens of thousands from their homes annually in the coming decades, according to a new report by the Habitable Project. The report, released in July 2024, warns that flood risks are set to rise significantly due to climate change, which could increase the number of displaced people in Somalia by as much as nine times under pessimistic projections.
