Supporting LDCs to advance their National Adaptation Plans Africa Regional Training Workshop (Anglophone)
UN Conference Centre, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 14-17 April 2014
[Presenter] [Designation / organisation]
Synopsis of Sudan National Adaptation Plan (NAP)
Sudan’s vulnerability to climate Change
Climate Change Impacts and variability
Key vulnerabilities
Variable Rains (INC 2003, Sudan NAPA, 2007): A decrease of annual rainfall of about 0.5% per year. Co efficient of variability increased by 2.0 % per year More frequent and intense drought trend Changes in precipitation are more uncertain results showing both wetter and drier conditions (NAP 2013)
Shifting agro-climatic zones southwards
Water deficit
Declining, and failure of, crop production
Loss of range resources and livestock
Desertification
Poverty
Food insecurity and famines
Loss of livelihoods
Competition over resources and conflicts
Human displacement and suffering
Sudan’s vulnerability to climate Change
Climate Change Impacts and variability
Key vulnerabilities
Temperature ( Sudan INC, 2003): By 2060, projected warming ranges from 1.5 - 3.1 C0 during August to between 1.1o - 2.1 C0 during January. Climate scenario for Kordofan indicates an increase in average temperature Temperature clearly show substantial warming (climate scenarios, NAP 2013)
•Increase water loss •negative impact on the winter season crops •Decline wheat production •Increases weeds, pests and diseases (e.g. white fly, root rottenness) •increase risk of malaria and diseases
Sudan’s vulnerability to climate Change Climate Change Impacts and variability
Key vulnerabilities
Floods (Sudan NAPA, 2007): Floods caused by torrential rains with overflow of the Nile River and its tributaries Flash flooding due to heavy localized rainfall
Damage crops production systems Damage human settlements and properties Increase risk of malaria and other diseases Loss of livelihoods
River Flow (SNC, 2013): Peak River Nile and Blue Nile flow is 20% and 30% respectively less than usual in 2090.
Exacerbate water management challenges Declined production in irrigated sector Decrease water availability and quality
Sudan’s vulnerability to climate Change
Climate Change Impacts and variability
Key vulnerabilities
Coastal Zone (SNC 2013): Sudan sea-level is already rising in the Red Sea about 10-20 cm during the past century Warmer sea surface temperatures and increasing water salinity
Coral reef bleaching Loss of mangrove areas Decline fish production Loss of other marine resources Inundation of coastal resources and infrastructure
Sudan NAP project
• Implemented through a cooperation agreement between UNEP and HCENR
• Active participation of the Governments of the 18 states of Sudan.
• Funded by DIFD as part of the UNEP-Sudan umbrella project (SIEP)
– Total grant of USD 790,000 – In-kind support from the national and state governments
• Implementation period: July 2011 – Dec. 2013
Process of the NAP preparation
Strengthening national institutions and consultations:
Institutions established/strengthened at all
the states consist of focal points and
technical teams of experts.
4 national workshops: for capacity building
and exchange of experiences among the 18
states’ experts.
Process of the NAP preparation
5 zonal/regional workshops: for awareness,
capacity building, lessons learned and
consultation on policies and institutional
issues.
18 state-level workshops for awareness and
capacity building and identification of priority
adaptations needs
Process of the NAP preparation
• Support for strengthening institutions at the states level and data collection by states’ expert teams throughout the NAP preparation.
Process of the NAP preparation
Activities at the State level: Assessment of current vulnerability of the water,
agriculture (including food security) and health
sectors
Identification of adaptation options for vulnerable
areas and systems
Review of state-level institutions, policies and
development plans
Process of the NAP preparation
Consultation on priority adaptation options
Awareness and capacity building
3 stage process, each stage followed by a
national workshop for exchange of experiences
and sharing of lessons learned
NAP Deliverables
Data:
State’s reports on V&A assessment of the 3 sectors
3 sectoral reports prepared by national consultants
V&A assessment report of the coastal and marine resources focusing on coral reefs, mangrove, sea grasses etc
Climate scenarios study report.
Assessment report on the adequacy of research and systematic observation for climate adaptation .
3 Studies on vulnerability hotspot mapping, climate proofing and investment and finance flows.
Who participated:
18 focal points from all the states of Sudan
18 technical committees, each has 8 – 20 members representing the government, research, academia and civil society organizations
More than 250 participants in National Workshops
More than 400 participants in zonal/regional workshops
20 national consultants
2 international consultants
NAP activities in all states received high political support from the State’s governments
