South Sudan
Republic of South Sudan
South Sudan is the world's youngest nation (independent 2011) and is heavily dependent on oil production, which accounts for nearly all government revenue and exports. Ongoing civil conflict since 2013 has devastated the economy and displaced millions. Oil production (primarily from the Unity and Upper Nile states) has recovered partially but remains below pre-conflict levels. The country has significant agricultural potential (one of Africa's largest areas of arable land) and untapped mineral resources. Business operations are extremely challenging due to conflict, weak institutions, and infrastructure deficits.

Climate Readiness Full ranking
How this is computed
Adaptive capacity to absorb climate finance and adapt, following the readiness dimension of the ND-GAIN framework. Built only from measured values already held on each country profile. It is not a measure of emissions or physical climate vulnerability, which the platform does not yet hold.
- Energy access (30%) — World Bank, access to electricity (% of population). The single most climate and energy specific signal held: SDG 7 and the clean-energy transition.
- Governance readiness (20%) — Transparency International, Corruption Perceptions Index (0-100). ND-GAIN governance readiness: the capacity to govern and deploy climate finance. Higher is cleaner.
- Human readiness (20%) — UNDP, Human Development Index (0-1). ND-GAIN social readiness: the adaptive capacity of the population.
- Economic readiness (15%) — World Bank, GDP per capita (current US$), latest measured year. ND-GAIN economic readiness: the capacity to finance adaptation. Scored relative to the covered set.
- Digital readiness (15%) — World Bank, individuals using the Internet (% of population). Information systems for early warning and adaptation.
A country is scored only when at least 4 of the five indicators are held. Sub-scores are weighted and renormalised over the indicators that are present; nothing is estimated for one that is absent.
