"Now, I can go out at night without fear."

At our #BCSC2026 side event with @iom.int and @sipri.org, we explored lessons from Jowhar, #Somalia, bringing together #ConflictTransformation, climate adaptation, environmental restoration and resilient infrastructure.

Key takeaway: Peacebuilding and climate resilience are deeply interconnected.

RISE joined the Ministry of Women and Family Affairs of South West State in raising community awareness on Super El Niño preparedness, flood risks, early warnings, and safety measures.
Together, we strengthen climate resilience and community protection. 🌧️🤝
