<p>South Sudan 7th National Report. NR7 (2026)</p>

South Sudan faces a critical convergence of climate vulnerability, conflict and humanitarian crises, ranking among the most fragile states globally. The north-western states, especially Northern Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap, are particularly exposed to severe climate hazards such as recurring floods and heat stress. These conditions affect over 95 per cent of the population, who depend on climate-sensitive livelihoods like agropastoralism. Institutional capacity is weak, access to climate information and services is limited, and communities lack the resources to adapt. This situation further entrenches dependence on humanitarian aid and intensifies livelihood-based conflicts.

ECRF will build climate resilience in flood- and drought-prone areas of Northwestern South Sudan by strengthening institutional capacities, improving climate services, and supporting community-led adaptation and livelihoods. It adopts a comprehensive, multilevel strategy to build climate resilience across institutions and communities. Its three components focus on strengthening national and local institutional capacities to support climate adaptation and land restoration, enhancing climate and disaster risk services that inform and support resilient land and water management, and engaging with communities to initiate land rehabilitation.

As South Sudan’s first single-country project supported by GCF, its integrated approach is expected to benefit refugees, internally displaced people, returnees and host communities by building community-shared assets and easing tensions among communities.

This project will strengthen the resilience of educational systems in Cambodia, South Sudan, and Tonga by retrofitting schools with climate-resilient features, integrating early warning systems, and embedding climate risk into education policies and planning. It supports GCF’s ambition to scale up investments in early warning systems and resilient infrastructure in climate-vulnerable sectors, advancing replicable models for systemic adaptation.

Climate change is disrupting education systems in Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States, leading to school closures, higher absenteeism, and increased dropout rates due to rising temperatures, floods, and droughts. Addressing these challenges is essential to protect learning continuity and build long-term resilience for children and communities. 

 The BRACE project will strengthen educational systems by integrating climate resilience into school infrastructure, policy, and planning. It will retrofit schools with climate-smart features, implement early warning systems to reduce disruptions, and support curriculum reform. Ministries of education will be supported to access climate finance and embed education in national climate strategies, while knowledge-sharing platforms will promote learning and replication across countries. 

GCF will provide USD 40.75 million in grant funding to support implementation across Cambodia, South Sudan, and Tonga.  Co-designed with the Global Partnership for Education, BRACE is the Fund’s first education-focused climate resilience initiative. It sets a transformative precedent for integrating climate resilience into educational systems and unlocking global scale-up opportunities. 

 GCF's Project Preparation Facility (PPF) support was deployed to help develop the project.

Community-based and civil society organizations are technically and financially supported to design and deliver locally led initiatives that address complex socio-ecological challenges to foster resilience, enhance livelihoods and deliver global environmental benefits.
