South Sudan, which has been torn apart by a civil war, is vulnerable to extreme weather events, frequent floods and drought, to which it must adapt. But any adaptation projects for South Sudan have to be designed with conflict in mind.

Understanding this is essential in designing projects that protect people against climate change and also work well in conflict situations.
