Floods, Displacement and Violence in South Sudan : International Crisis Group Visual Explainer

As part of the preparations for COP27 in Egypt next month the International Crisis Group has examined the links between climate change and violence in South Sudan. We encourage you to click on the Visit Visual Explainer link below to read the full report.





Stresses brought about by climate change are an important driver of internal displacement in the Global South. The impact that displacement in turn has on conflict dynamics is amplified in fragile states, where political instability and poor governance undermine climate resilience, impede humanitarian support and pave the way for communal friction.

A prime example is South Sudan, reeling from its recent civil war, where four consecutive years of historic flooding have exacerbated food and livelihood insecurity. Rising waters have sent pastoralists fleeing south, where their presence has increased tensions and contributed to violence in the Equatoria region.
