Climate Change 101
Causes of Climate Change
Climate change is primarily caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and changing weather patterns.
➝ Carbon dioxide from fossil fuel combustion
➝ Methane from agriculture and waste
➝ Deforestation reducing carbon absorption
➝ Industrial emissions and pollution
Impacts in South Sudan
➝ Prolonged droughts affecting crops and livestock
➝ Severe flooding displacing communities
➝ Food insecurity and malnutrition
➝ Water scarcity in many regions
➝ Loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services
➝ Increased disease outbreaks
Solutions & Actions
➝ Tree planting and forest restorationk
➝ Sustainable agriculture and agroforestry
➝ Clean energy adoption (solar, improved cookstoves)
➝ Waste reduction and recycling
➝ Water conservation and rainwater harvesting
➝ Community-based adaptation strategies
