Sumaya Mohammed :The Horn of Africa Somali Community in Ireland congratulates Sumaya Mohammed, a climate and human rights activist, for her achievement in integrating climate education into the Irish curriculum. This milestone stems from her journey as a 16-year-old advocate for climate education, ensuring that children in schools are taught the importance of environmental awareness and sustainability.

Cop29 wasn’t perfect, but it’s the forum we have for tackling the climate crisis, says Sumaya Mohammed. The law student at University College Cork was part of the college’s delegation to Baku, Azerbaijan. Mohammed says she was privileged to receive climate education at Cork Educate Together Secondary School. “Not to be dramatic, but it changed my life. It’s why a lot of my focus now is on education, education can change how you view the world.” There, she cofounded the Students Climate Action Network, organising climate protests in Cork to pressure government on climate action. Aged 16, she attended Cop27 in Egypt, supported by Trócaire, and also advised on the Leaving Certificate Climate Action course. She is a member of Somalis for Sustainability. “I really hope that climate can become a main topic of conversation again as it was in 2019, prior to the pandemic,” says Mohammed. “We have faced flooding in Cork and it is terrible, but it is nothing compared to the flooding people face in Somalia or what we saw in Spain. We must remember our privilege and that we can still change. There is still hope, we must keep fighting for it.”

“Ma rabo inaan xad-dhaaf ah u hadlo, laakiin waxay beddeshay life-keyga. Taas awgeed, inta badan diiraddaydu hadda waxay tahay education, sababtoo ah education waxay beddeli kartaa sida aad world-ka u aragto,” ayay tiri.
Intii ay halkaas joogtay, waxay wada aasaastay Students Climate Action Network, taasoo abaabushay climate protests oo ka dhacay Cork si ay cadaadis ugu saarto government inay tallaabo ka qaaddo climate action.

“Waxaan la kulannay flooding ka dhacay Cork, waana arrin xanuun badan, laakiin kama xanuun badna flooding-ka ay dadka Somalia la kulmaan ama wixii aan ku aragnay Spain. Waa inaan xasuusanno fursadda aan haysanno iyo inaan wali wax ka beddeli karno xaaladda. Weli rajo way jirtaa, waa inaan sii wadnaa halganka.”
