Climate risk and adaptation country profile: Togo
This Country Profile is a part of a series of 31 priority country briefs developed by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) as part of its Disaster Risk Management Plans. The profile synthesizes most relevant data and information for Disaster Risk Reduction and Adaptation to Climate Change and is designed as a quick reference source for development practitioners to better integrate climate resilience in development planning and operations.
The Togolese Republic (Togo) is located in West Africa on the Atlantic coast of the Gulf of Guinea. According to the Togo's National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA), the country’s economy depends on the agriculture which now faces increasing impacts from climate change. The main climate risks facing Togo are violent winds, coastal erosion, poor distribution of rain, and late rains, with flooding and drought remaining the greatest threats.
