In this episode of Islam & Earth in the second Jumah of Dhul Hijjah, 1444, Br. Hassan Mowlid Yasin speaks from his experiences on the ground in Somalia and East Africa, on the impacts of climate change and developing meaningful localized solutions and focussing on youth-centered climate activism.
Br. Hassan explains exactly how Somalia is being impacted directly when it comes to marine life, human life, biodiversity, sustainability, conflict, drought management, and why many of these issues are being overlooked in the mainstream discourse on climate change.
Br. Hassan provides insight on how focussing on localized and youth-centered education and grassroots solutions is important, rather than looking at imported, foreign solutions.
Being involved in international tables and working groups on climate change, Br. Hassan discusses unique challenges as well as solutions that East African regions can offer in the climate change narrative.
Br. Hassan provides insights on how Islamic teachings are directly connected to the work they are doing on the ground.
Finally, Br. Hassan shares how the Islamic narrative brings hope and why he is hopeful about climate change solutions in Somalia.
