As global leaders gather for COP29 to tackle the urgent climate crisis, Dahir Abdullahi, Islamic Relief’s Communication and External Relations Manager in Afghanistan, is calling for immediate action to address the severe impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities. In the Dehdadi district of Afghanistan’s Balkh province, once barren and dry fields have been transformed into green, thriving farmland. Just a few years ago, this land seemed impossible to cultivate. But today, it stands as a symbol of resilience, thanks to the efforts of farmers like 42-year-old Fida Mohammad.
