NATIONAL YOUTH STATEMENT​

This national youth position statement of Somalia is the first of its kind. It works to unify the voice of the Somali youth from the entire region to address key issues and give a recommendation on climate action that impacts their livelihoods and future. This statement was collated through a consultation process that brought together more than 100 delegates, both virtually and in-person, to provide vital input into the designated thematic areas. The delegates were selected to reflect the composition of the Federal Member States of Somalia, having representatives from each of the states. The selection committee also chose the delegates to reflect a minimum 30% inclusion for gender diversity, specifically women.
