On this episode, Nate talks with Ayan Mahamoud, a climate and resilience planner from Djibouti. They discuss the growing challenge the poly-crisis poses for the Global South and how climate change is already creating challenges for people (and animals) in East Africa.In many ways, the discussions in our world are not only energy blind but also blind to accelerating threats to nations outside our own. What does managing and coordinating responses look like? What can we learn from communities already dealing with increasing poverty and climate impacts? About Ayan Mahamoud:Ayan coordinates and facilitates regional programming tasks within the Initiative on Drought Resilience (IDDRSI), which covers 7 countries in the Horn of Africa. She currently manages the USAID Programme Portfolio at Intergovernmental Authority on Development working on issues related to Resilience/Climate Adaptation/Dryland Development, Cross-Border Health, Countering Violent Extremism, Conflict Prevention/Early Warning.
