About IGAD CAEP
The IGAD Centre of Excellence for Climate Change Adaptation and Environmental Protection (IGAD CAEP) in Mogadishu, Somalia, was established on 23 December 2021. CAEP is an IGAD-specialized institution mandated to coordinate Climate Change Adaptation, Loss and damage, and Environmental Protection efforts in the eight IGAD countries comprising Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda.
The IGAD Secretariat recognised that climate change and environmental degradation are the most severe developmental challenges for the IGAD region. This is despite the inconsequential greenhouse gas emissions of the region. Climate-induced shocks, including droughts, floods, sea level rise, desert locust infestation, and storms, among others, continuously result in the loss of lives and livelihoods and the destruction of properties and key infrastructures.
