South Sudan is taking a bold step toward combating climate change with its new UN-backed Watershed Approaches for Climate Resilience in Agro-pastoral Landscapes (WACRESS) initiative. The five-year project aims to protect vulnerable communities while healing ecosystems – a dual win for people and the planet. 🌾
What’s the Plan?
With $33 million in funding, WACRESS will restore 15,000+ hectares of land and support 75,000+ residents facing climate challenges like droughts and floods. Think community training + sustainable farming hacks rolled into one! 💧
Why It Matters
South Sudan ranks among the world’s most climate-vulnerable nations. By blending traditional pastoral practices with modern eco-tech, this project could become a blueprint for other regions struggling with environmental shifts. 🌤️
