Why is it important?
The paper provides a positive and arguably original example of social forestry within the Savannah Belt and its utilisation as a best practice that has fed into Sudan’s REDD+ Proposal/Policy Document so as to potentially drive and streamline similar such initiatives across Sudan. Climate justice is a wheel to drive a theory of change in minimizing the climate change risk and promoting capacity of the vulnerable community through equal participation and women empowerment.
Perspectives
The article sheds a light on a gendered invisibility surrounding climate justice contributes to the overall vulnerability and burden placed upon the ability of women from disadvantaged communities, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of developing a participative gender framework for climate justice with the potential to address the policy and programme vulnerability gap within climate change and conflict in Sudan’s Savannah Belt, as an example from the African Sub-Sahara region.
