Country Brief
Sudan is highly vulnerable to climate change and climate variability, predominantly a result of climatic and non-climatic factors. Being classified as a least developed country (LDC) Sudan is not obliged to pursue a GHG emission reduction target. Nevertheless, Sudan views the planning process to reduce GHG emissions, or rather pursue low-carbon development, as an opportunity to strengthen national capacity, promote sustainable resource management, facilitate technology transfer, and identify synergies between national economic objectives and sustainable development. Having seen the adverse effects of climate change, adaptation is the first and overriding priority of Sudan’s climate actions. Sudan aims to contribute to sustainable development and reduce poverty by reducing the long-term negative impacts of climate change.
