This report prepared by Katharine Vincent looks at the incorporation of climate adaptation and resilience outcomes in the Shock Response Programme (SRP). SRP is a multi-year and multi- country initiative that comprises two components – a £16.5-million contribution to the Sahel Adaptive Social Protection Programme, delivered by the World Bank through a multi-donor trust fund, and a £3-million contribution to the Centre for Disaster Protection to provide technical and advisory support for disaster risk financing. The latter programme is currently 60% financed by International Climate Finance.

This brief highlights Somalia's vulnerability to climate hazards, exacerbated by climate change, and the critical need for increased climate finance. As of May 2023, the ongoing drought since 2021 has severely impacted over 6.6 million people, leading to significant humanitarian appeals—rising from USD 1.09 billion in 2021 to USD 2.27 billion in 2022. Despite these challenges, Somalia receives minimal climate finance.
