Logistics Solutions, Supply Chains, Climate Change, and Sustainable Development in Somalia

The aim of this study is to provide a critical analysis of the interplay and missing links between
logistics solutions, supply chains during times of climate change, and the sustainable
development of logistics firms in Mogadishu, Somalia. Descriptive survey and correlational
research designs were utilized, targeting 57 logistics firms in Mogadishu, where a census
method was applied. The respondents, who were the units of observation, were the supply
chain managers from these firms. Information was gathered from primary sources using a
questionnaire that underwent a validation process and a determination of reliability before
being administered. The processing of the gathered information was guided by means and
standard deviations, as well as regression analysis, and the presentation was made through
tables and figures. The p-values for logistics solutions, supply chains, and climate change were
all less than 0.05, indicating that the variables were significant. Thus, logistics solutions,
supply chains, and climate change significantly predict the sustainable development of
logistics firms in Mogadishu, Somalia. Supply chain managers working in logistics firms in
Mogadishu should improve their logistics solutions and supply chains by adopting modern
