Cabo Verde - The Beach, the Climate & the Law

Bom dia from Cabo Verde! Discover this beautiful island country at the Atlantic coast of Africa. Learn about its history, people, and the impacts of climate change, especially sea-level rise. Understand the relevant laws and policies in place to address developmental and disaster-related challenges.
Although Cabo Verde's share of global greenhouse gas emissions is less than 0.01 per cent, it ranks as the 98th most vulnerable country to climate change.
Here in Cabo Verde, people are noticing the impacts of climate change mainly in three ways: intensified droughts, increased risk of flooding and coastal erosion, and sea-level rise.
These disasters interact with Cabo Verde's existing challenges and fragile ecosystem.
