Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of climate policy interventions on temperature anomalies in Sudan.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study found that international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, have led to countries committing to carbon reduction targets, slowing down the rise in global temperatures. However, the effectiveness of these policies varies significantly depending on implementation and enforcement. While developed nations have generally made more progress due to better resources and technology, many developing countries struggle to meet their commitments, leading to continued warming trends in certain regions. Overall, climate policy interventions have contributed to slowing global temperature rise, but stronger global cooperation and enforcement are needed to prevent future anomalies.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The theory of planned behavior, institutional theory and resilience theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the impact of climate policy interventions on temperature anomalies in Sudan. Policymakers should prioritize establishing robust policy frameworks that effectively link carbon pricing mechanisms, renewable energy incentives, and emissions reduction strategies to address temperature anomalies. Implementing policies that facilitate the participation of diverse stakeholders, including local communities, is crucial for ensuring that climate interventions are contextually relevant and broadly supported.
