Papua New Guinea is one of the countries considered most at-risk of climate change ranking 12th in the 2024 World Risk Report (World Risk Report). The economy is dominated by two main sectors: (1) agriculture, forestry, and fisheries and (2) the extraction of mineral energy (World Bank Group). The country is prone to many natural disasters including cyclones, drought, earthquakes, floods, landslides, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. It ranks among the top six countries with the highest percentage of the population exposed to earthquake hazards and the highest percentage of the population exposed to severe volcanic risk (Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery Papua New Guinea Country Profile 2016). Additionally, heavy rains in the country often lead to landslides and cause damage to road infrastructure and livelihoods. These hazards are likely to be exacerbated by climate change (2019 Disaster Risk Reduction in Papua New Guinea Status Report).
