The Greater Horn of Africa is experiencing increased climate threats, including prolonged droughts and devastating floods, which are undermining food security and economic stability. These extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense, impacting critical sectors and necessitating a united regional approach.

• According to ICPAC, unpredictable weather has displaced millions and strained fragile economies in the region.
• Ms. Debora Barasa, Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, stressed that climate extremes are now systemic events.
• The 71st Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum (GHACOF 71) in Nairobi brings together climate scientists and policymakers to address these challenges and refine early warning systems.
