About CCS Somalia
A Somali institution for climate knowledge and action.
CCS Somalia connects rigorous research with the policies, investments, and institutional capabilities required for resilient development.
Our purpose
Closing the distance between climate evidence and national decisions.
Somalia’s climate challenges are complex and deeply connected to livelihoods, cities, finance, food systems, water, and public institutions. CCS Somalia provides a platform where credible local evidence can become useful policy and practical action.
The center brings a distinctive focus to the relationship between climate risk, sustainable development, and institutional finance.
A climate-resilient Somalia where knowledge, leadership, and investment serve people and planet.
