My country, Somalia, is on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Today, an acute climate-driven drought is expected to affect around five million people. Without a major increase in adaptation and resilience support, climate-related floods and droughts could inflict up to $100 billion in losses and damages by 2050.
Yet Somalia receives just over $300 million (£223m) in climate-related funding each year – less than one per cent of what is needed. By contrast, more than $1 billion flows into the country annually in humanitarian aid.
