This first National Adaptation Plan (NAP) fulfils the mandate to strategise climage change adaptation and efforts to reduce community vulnerability and variability to climate change. These mandates are committed by a comprehensive framework for building resilience across all segments of our society. Over the next five years, the first South Sudan NAP will guide direct implementation and policy from a national level, down to our communities and households. The NAP consists of three priority pillars: 1. Building climate resilient communities; 2. Building a climate resilient economy and development trajectory; and 3. Building a climate-resilient environment and ecosystems.

The NAP is intended to be presented to the UNFCCC, and to guide adaptation in South Sudan from 2021-2025 building on nine priority sectors.
