🔹 Key Insights:

➡️ Regional frameworks like the Kampala Declaration and IGAD Free Movement Protocol are paving the way for integrated approaches to climate resilience and human mobility.

➡️ Community-led initiatives in Somalia and Ethiopia showcase the power of localised solutions, bolstered by traditional adaptation strategies and innovative technologies.

➡️ The global underfunding of mechanisms like the Loss and Damage Fund underscores the urgent need for financing to match the scale of climate-induced challenges.

➡️ These reflections emphasise that solutions must align regional efforts with global commitments, ensuring no one is left behind in the face of escalating climate shocks.

The Khartoum Process looks forward to continuing this critical dialogue and fostering collaborative solutions that address climate, conflict, and displacement.
