Food Security in Djibouti: A new IPC report warns Djibouti faces severe emergency-level hunger in July–December 2026, with 256,000 people (over 25% of the population) in IPC Phase 3+ and around 30,000 in Phase 4, driven by import dependence, Strait of Hormuz disruptions, low purchasing power, and El Niño-linked climate stress—refugees are hit hardest. Early Warnings for Floods and Extreme Weather: China has officially handed Djibouti an upgraded MAZU “Djibouti 2.0” AI early-warning system, improving forecast resolution to 3 km, adding 3-day lead time, and updating every six hours—aimed at faster, more actionable alerts for cities, ports, and communities. Air Pollution Pressure in the Region: UNEP flags air pollution as a major public health threat; Djibouti’s annual PM2.5 exposure is listed at 40.3 micrograms per cubic metre, above WHO targets. Climate Tech for Disaster Risk: Across the Global South, MAZU is being praised and expanded as a “global public good” for multi-hazard early warning, including deployment in Djibouti and other climate-vulnerable countries. Church-Led Environmental Action: Djibouti’s Catholic leadership is calling for stronger environmental safeguards and linking climate action with social justice, including support for migrants and vulnerable families.
