This São Tomé and Príncipe country risk profile provides a comprehensive view of hazard, risk and uncertainties for floods and droughts in a changing climate, with projections for the period 2050-2100.

As climate-induced sea level rise threatens to flood São Tomé and Príncipe, Deltares and partners are using state-of-the-art numerical models to quantify various hazards and climate change scenarios, as well as the effectiveness of adaptation measures. The project will emphasise community engagement, participatory risk mapping, and soft adaptation solutions.

Le programme d’investissement pour la Résilience des côtes de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (WACA ResIP) est lancé pour promouvoire la création d'un espace dynamique permettant aux pays côtiers en Afrique et à leurs partenaires de partager des connaissances et d’obtenir des financements. Elle permettra également d’améliorer la gestion des risques.

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction has engaged CIMA Research Foundation to generate risk profiles on flood and drought in 16 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The countries that will be involved in the risk assessment are: Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Rwanda, Swaziland, Tanzania, Ivory Coast, Botswana, Zambia, Namibia, Gambia, Gabon, Cameroon, Ghana, Sao Tome and Principe, and Kenya.

This paper analyses flows of climate finance to Cape Verde, the Comoros, Guinea-Bissau, the Maldives, Mauritius, São Tomé and Príncipe, and the Seychelles. This report highlights important trends in the allocation of climate finance across the region

Collective action by regional organisations is a key means to help countries reduce their risk of disasters, and the Economic Community of Central African States is stepping up its efforts to rein in the impact of hazards amid rising pressure from climate change.

Members of parliament from across Central Africa are stepping up their region’s drive to curb the impact of natural and man-made hazards by implementing the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

Relocating populations away from at-risk areas is a challenging process, but increasingly necessary in Small Island States where communities face imminent hazards to life and property due to factors such as sea-level rise, coastal erosion and flood risks
