The document titled "Confronting Climate Change in South Sudan: Risks and Opportunities" underscores the significant impact of climate change on South Sudan, emphasizing its disproportionate effects on a country already dealing with a humanitarian and economic crisis. Authored by UNDP experts Jean-Luc Stalon and Biplove Choudhary, the article delineates how climate change intensifies resource conflicts, deforestation, and agricultural vulnerabilities. The authors advocate for international action, encompassing climate finance, clean energy initiatives, and climate-smart agriculture, to construct resilience and guarantee a sustainable future for South Sudan. This piece is particularly relevant to land governance as it discusses the implications of climate change on land use and resource management.
