Introducing the Inaugural Class of the Sustainability Scholars Program
We are thrilled to announce the selection of the inaugural class of the Sustainability Scholars Program (SSP) at the Institute of Climate and Environment (ICE), SIMAD University. This groundbreaking program, launched as part of our commitment to addressing the urgent climate and environmental challenges in Somalia, brings together a diverse group of passionate and talented researchers who will lead the way in fostering sustainable development and climate resilience.
The Sustainability Scholars Program is more than just a research initiative—it is a platform for nurturing the next generation of climate leaders who will drive innovation, policy impact, and transformative solutions to the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Our inaugural cohort of scholars has been carefully selected based on their academic excellence, research potential, and commitment to sustainability.
This diverse group of scholars hails from various academic backgrounds, including climate science, environmental policy, natural resource management, and sustainable energy. They bring a wealth of experience, innovative ideas, and a shared vision for creating a greener, more sustainable future for Somalia and beyond. Each scholar has demonstrated a strong track record in their respective fields, including published peer-reviewed research and significant contributions to climate and environmental projects.
As we celebrate the launch of this inaugural class, we are filled with optimism for the future. The Sustainability Scholars Program is not just a stepping stone for these scholars’ academic and professional journeys—it is a catalyst for change. Through their research, engagement with stakeholders, and contributions to policy, these scholars will help shape a sustainable and resilient Somalia.
We are excited to follow the progress of our scholars and share their achievements with our community. Stay tuned for updates on their research projects, publications, and the impact they are making in the field of sustainability.
