During Climate change, already existing constraints such as gender-based inequalities, intersect with ecological calamities and enhance climate change vulnerabilities among women. These constraints are particularly observed in Countries like South Sudan, where women and girls are facing intersecting stresses related to social norms, illiteracy, poverty, and land tenure insecurity; consequently, they become less climate resilient. This thesis examinates ‘’how can women in rural South Sudan be empowered in order to increase their climate change resilience”. It argues that a durable and diffusible women’s empowerment through inclusion representation, education, economic stimulation, and land ownership can reduce women climate vulnerability and simultaneously increase their climate resilience.Show less
