Climate Change, Mobility, and Conflict Dynamics: Country Brief – Somalia (MMC, 2026)

This country brief is part of a series of four publications focusing on Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Burundi. The country briefs build on a foundational review paper published in August 2025: The Intersection of Mobility, Environmental and Climate Change, and Conflict in the East and Horn of Africa: A synthesis of the existing knowledge and remaining research gaps. The four country briefs seek to address some of the research questions identified in the review paper, such as the different demographic, social, and economic factors influencing vulnerability to climate- related migration and displacement, and how climate and environmental drivers are interacting with other drives to trigger movement decisions.
