Based on the international poverty line of $1.90 a day in 2011 purchasing power parity, approximately 82 percent of the population in South Sudan is poor (World Bank, 2020a). Poverty is intricately related to vulnerability to climate change, reducing capacity to adapt and mitigate its consequences. Poor people have limited access to water, food, infrastructure, health, housing, livelihood and services, and their situation is predicted to worsen under future climate change scenarios. Therefore, limited resources and poverty are likely to increase local conflicts for sustenance among the population.
