Climate, Peace and Security in South Sudan

In South Sudan, climate change-related seasonal weather patterns and extreme droughts and flooding are exacerbating existing local conflict dynamics. Assessing the impact of climate, peace and security on conflict dynamics is a crucial aspect of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) efforts to address key drivers of conflict through an integrated approach. Integrating climate, peace and security analysis into peacebuilding efforts also provides avenues for building sustainable and lasting peace.
