Senegal is a country that is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change from drought, locust invasion, flooding and related health epidemics, sea-level rise, coastal erosion and its corollaries, and bush fire (World Bank Climate Change Knowledge Portal). The country is considered highly vulnerable to recurring environmental shocks, with droughts and floods having intensified in recent years, and climate change is expected to further increase the extremes of weather patterns and natural hazards putting vulnerable populations such as the 50.8 percent of the population (8,579 thousand people in 2021) considered as multidimensionally poor, while an additional 18.2 percent is classified as vulnerable to multidimensional poverty (3,069 thousand people in 2021) (2023 Multidimensional Poverty index, UNDP). The adverse effects of the climate crisis disproportionately affect the poor, mainly through decreased agricultural productivity, increased food prices, coastal flooding and erosion, and associated health hazards, with female-headed households more economically vulnerable to even modest levels of climate change (World Bank Group Systematic Country Diagnostic of Senegal).
