Shaping Africa’s Climate Future - SDG Media Zone | United Nations

Africa is on the frontlines of the climate crisis, warming faster than the global average and facing disproportionate climate impacts despite contributing the least to global greenhouse gas emissions. This is particularly evident in the growing pressures that climate change is placing on water resources and systems across the continent. As water underpins agriculture, livelihoods, ecosystems, and energy production, water-related climate impacts are deepening inequalities and threatening sustainable development across Africa. African youth are driving critical climate innovations, advancing practical solutions, and changing the continent’s climate future. This dialogue aims to spotlight Africa’s youth innovators at the forefront of addressing climate change impacts, highlighting their leadership in building resilient communities, strengthening water security, and advancing global climate solutions. Moderator Damon Hamman, Graduate Student, New York University, Centre for Global Affairs. SPEAKERS Ms. Eugenia Boateng, Founder and Executive Director of African Diaspora Youth Hub, FABA (For Africa, By Africa) Institute Mr. Jabri Ibrahim, UN Secretary-General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change Mr. Sibusiso Mazomba, UN Secretary-General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change

South Sudan: A UN Mission's Fight for Peace and Protection - UNMISS Briefing | United Nations

Briefing by Anita Kiki Gbeho, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for South Sudan and Head of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, on Sudan and South Sudan - Security Council, 10139th meeting. Presenting the report, the newly appointed Special Representative of the Secretary-General for South Sudan and Head of UNMISS, Anita Kiki Gbeho, said, the operating environment in South Sudan “has become more complex,” since the last mandate renewal. Gbeho said, “political tensions, escalating security incidents and humanitarian pressures increasingly reinforce one another. Economic stress, climate related shocks, and the spill-over from the conflict in Sudan compound these challenges.” She told the Council the security situation “remains deeply concerning, as “fighting between the South Sudan People's Defence Forces and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement / Army in Opposition, particularly in Jonglei, has intensified, and in some cases been accompanied by inflammatory rhetoric.” Civilians, Gbeho said, “continue to bear the brunt.” She stressed that “challenges facing South Sudan cannot be resolved through military means,” and added that “sustained political pathway anchored in inclusive dialogue remains essential.” Gbeho said, “as the Security Council deliberates on the renewal of the UN mandate, it is important to recognise the dilemma we collectively face. The scale and urgency of needs on the ground are not yet matched by the type of sustained commitment and investment required to meet the ambition of sustainable path to peace.”

Sudan: Women & Girls Continue to Experience Gender-Based Violence- Press Conference | United Nations

Press conference by Fabrizia Falcione, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Country Representative in Sudan, on the situation in the Country. United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Country Representative in Sudan, Fabrizia Falcione said women and girls across Sudan continue to experience gender-based violence in their daily live. “They feel unsafe,” she said. Falcione briefed reporter via video link today (17 Apr) from Khartoum. She said, “women and girls have a persistent sense of danger. 76 percent of the women aged between 25 and 49 have reported feeling unsafe in the displacement camps and sites, but also outside the camps, in markets, water points, in firewood collection areas, roads and streets, particularly at night when going to the latrines in distribution areas, and equally in urban and rural areas.” The UNFPA official noted that reporting cases of gender-based violence remains “extremely difficult,” due to stigma, the fear of retaliation, the financial constraints, as well as the distance from the service provision. Falcione also said, “three quarters of them have indicated that economic empowerment and livelihood as being their priority. “ She said, “I can confirm from all my missions that women want to return, including to Khartoum. They want to return to their homes, to their areas of origin. They ask for three things when I spoken to many of them basic services, access to health, access to schools, particularly for their children, and livelihood opportunities. They don't want to be fed. They want opportunities, income generation of activities, opportunities to be able to feed their families and their children.” On funding shortage, the UNFPA official said, “today in Sudan, the protection sector is funded at 14 percent and the health sector at 11 percent. We keep hearing over and over that this is a protection crisis, particularly affecting women and girls. It is a health crisis and yet the funding are not following neither the definition nor the needs that are being identified.”
