Ecosystem-Based Adaptation in Sudan 2017-2023

UNEP is helping the government of Sudan to build climate resilience among smallholder rainfed farmers and pastoralists (SRFPs) in the White Nile State. The project’s main approach is ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), which involves protecting and restoring healthy ecosystems. EbA is proven to be highly cost-effective for withstanding extreme weather, and 80% of Sudan’s population directly depend on ecosystem services for their livelihoods.
