Abstract:
This study assesses Sudan’s vulnerability to climate change. By overlaying maps of population distribution, poverty, rainfall distribution and variability, and incidence of environmental hazards, it identifies the states most vulnerable to climate change. It also outlines actions being undertaken to help the country to adapt to a changing climate, and makes recommendations for how such actions could become more effective. A national sustainable development strategy is needed to co-ordinate and build on synergies among the recommendations of the National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA), the National Action Plan on Desertification and the National Biodiversity Action Programme.
