Formulating the initial Project Proposal on “Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) Project for The Green and Resilient Economy Programme of the EU, for South Sudan”Preparation of the CRVA inception report to summarize the project, identify key stakeholders, and describe the hazards, vulnerabilities and resulting risks to be assessed in the CRVA study, based on information on current and future hazards and risks already available in key sources of climate information such as IPCC reports, NAPAs/NAPs, National Communications to the UNFCCC and other sourcesAnalysis of Climate-related risks to the successful realization of the project’s intended outputs and outcomes, including an assessment of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity of ecosystems, human assets and populations, with a focus on the young, women, and other identified vulnerable groups; Analysis of Risks that the project will increase the vulnerability of human populations and/or natural systems to climate change and variability; Analysis of Risks that existing practices in the project-related sectors and/or that the project itself can contribute to maladaptation; Formulation of Measures to reduce climate-related risks and vulnerabilities and to adapt to climate change, to be described in a Climate Adaptation Management Plan (CAMP); Formulation of Further measures and opportunities for promoting wider resilience and adaptation to climate change, and encouraging low-carbon development; Outlining of other points to be examined according to findings of the inception report (e.g. the need for improved environmental and climate-related information).Disaster Risk Reduction - droughts and floodsClimate vulnerability and Risk assessmentClimate Adaptation Management Plan
