“SAVE SOUTH SUDAN SAVE THE PLANET”

Climate and Environmental Actions-South Sudan was represented by Mr. Dominic Otwari and he had this to say;

Youth participation in Climate governance and Financing activities demonstrates that they’re not just youthful leaders of tomorrow but they’re useful leaders of today capable of driving and championing Climate Action and sustainable development activities.

Addressing Climate Change is not only an environmental issue but also a crucial element of peace building, youth in South Sudan must be equiped with the knowledge and tools to mitigate the impacts of Climate change and contribute to sustainable development.

We boldly call for concerted actions.

“Save South Sudan Save the Planet”

As part of our endeavour to help school children, in order to achieve sustainable environmental culture among our citizens and especially the next generation of South Sudanese.

The team of Climate and Environmental Actions-South Sudan had the distinguished and golden opportunity to met with the pupils and students of Majok Gar Schools in Wau City-Western Bar el Ghazal State.

The school management and CEA-SS team principally agreed to work together as we cultivate the environmental culture for the students to be conscious about their responsibilities towards their surroundings.

We shall continue to work together to see into it that the school is cleaner, Safer and Environmentally Healthier for all the people

Our heartfelt appreciation to the Principal and Management of Majok Gar Schools.

Solar energy is electromagnetic radiation from the sun, including visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet light, among others.

It’s the energy source that powers our planet and is essential for life as we know it. The sun’s energy is crucial for life on Earth, driving weather patterns, photosynthesis in plants, and maintaining Earth’s temperature.

Opira Bosco Okot, 26, is a South Sudanese refugee in his final year at university in Kampala. He and his family have felt the impacts of the climate crisis in Uganda and at home. Now, he is working with other young people to take action.

In 2017, I ran and walked barefoot for days to flee the conflict in South Sudan. When I arrived at the Ugandan border, I was registered at Palabek Refugee Settlement and allocated a 30-square-metre plot of land on which to build a temporary structure and have some space to farm and rebuild my life. 

I started collecting firewood for cooking and cutting trees to build a shelter. The land allotted to me was fertile, forested and bushy; the natural resources were plentiful, and I was easily able to grow sufficient crops, and collect enough firewood for cooking.

But three years later, the rains had become unreliable, crop yields had reduced, and building materials were scarce. The beauty of the area had disappeared, and productive land was increasingly scarce. As drought took hold, competition between refugees and the local host community over increasingly scarce natural resources grew, as well as the perception that refugees were favoured for assistance. The relationship between the two communities began to break down. 

One day, while I was in the bush collecting building materials, I was chased by four men and I had to run, leaving behind everything I had collected.

Last month, Sudan’s Blue Nile State declared a state of emergency following a rash of tribal fighting that reportedly left more than 200 people dead.

The conflict was the latest in a decade-long string of clashes in the state, which is perched on the border of Ethiopia and South Sudan.

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) research shows at least 40 per cent of all internal conflicts over the last 60 years can be linked to exploiting natural resources – from high-value resources such as timber, diamonds, gold and oil to scarce resources such as fertile land and water.

The number of people in South Sudan who are going hungry is at the highest level ever, UN agencies said in their latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report, issued on Thursday.

Hunger and malnutrition are on the rise in areas affected by flood, drought and conflict, and some communities are likely to face starvation unless aid is sustained, and climate adaption measures are scaled up.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is urging international support for humanitarian efforts in South Sudan in the face of record-breaking rains and floods for a fourth consecutive year, and the threat of worse to come as the climate crisis accelerates.

Two-thirds of the country is currently experiencing flooding. Over 900,000 people have been directly impacted as waters have swept away homes and livestock, forced thousands to flee, and inundated large swathes of farmland, worsening an already dire food emergency. Boreholes and latrines have been submerged, contaminating water sources and risking outbreaks of diseases.

In Unity State, the capital, Bentiu, has become an island surrounded by floodwaters. All roads in and out are impassable and only boats and the airstrip serve as lifelines for humanitarian aid to reach 460,000 people already displaced by a mix of both flooding and conflict.

Camps for internally displaced are below the current water level, protected from floodwaters only by dikes – large, compacted mounds of earth – erected by the United Nations, the government, and the inhabitants themselves.
