From Challenge to Empowerment
A youth-led technical platform bridging Sudan's institutional climate gap — building the next generation of climate leaders, policy experts, and field innovators.
CAS (Climate Action in Sudan) is a pioneering youth-led initiative established as a professional and strategic response to the institutional void created by Sudan's ongoing conflict — and the disruption it caused to climate and development work.
We operate as a technical bridge connecting young Sudanese talent with the international community, building a generation of experts capable of shaping national climate policy and competing on the global diplomatic stage at COP conferences and beyond.
Responsible resource management as the foundation for political and social stability in Sudan.
Sudan owns its climate data and leads its own national narrative on environmental challenges.
Ensuring women and rural communities are represented through open-source technology.
Sudan's climate institutions have broken down, causing loss of historical data and shutdown of research centres. CAS fills this gap through youth-driven field data collection.
Disrupted training programs threaten climate expertise continuity. Without young experts, Sudan cannot update NDCs, draft Adaptation Plans, or meet international commitments.
Sudan qualifies for international L&D funding but lacks capacity to convert field needs into bankable projects meeting Green Climate Fund standards.
Fellows in Phase 2 of the CAS Fellowship are embedded into four specialised working groups — each aligned to a strategic pillar of the initiative.
The backbone of the CAS Digital Academy. Builds a critical mass of 5,000 climate leaders by 2030 through offline curricula, peer educator networks, and climate camps across Sudan's states.
Drives youth engagement with Sudan's SDG commitments, linking Goals 1 (poverty), 2 (food security), and 13 (climate action) to real field conditions and national planning frameworks.
Links local communities to national decision-makers. Works on updating Sudan's NDCs and National Adaptation Plans based on field evidence from the most vulnerable states.
Sudan's climate diplomatic wing. Trains young technical diplomats for COP representation and crafts high-quality project proposals for international climate funds.
The CCT is the operational engine — supporting all four SWGF teams and managing logistics, communications, and monitoring.
Technical & financial support from UNDP, UNFCCC, and international organisations
Interactive educational media and training programme development
Preparing cadres for international events and training coordination
Digital identity and storytelling around Sudan's climate challenges
Monitoring KPIs, field implementation quality, and performance reporting
Field operations management and team safety across Sudan's states
National and international experts ensuring scientific integrity and strategic guidance for CAS.
Be part of Sudan's next generation of climate leaders — whether in policy, field work, data science, or climate diplomacy, there's a place for you in CAS.
