Cabo Verde - Strategic Tools to Support Mitigation Activities in Key Sectors

Cabo Verde is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change as a small island country and a dry Sahelian country. Along with scarce natural resources, climate variability in the country is likely to be increased leading to more storms, floods and droughts and a shorter rainy season. Faced with such complexity and pressures, and at a time of continued economic development, Cabo Verde may see these gains reversed by the onset of climate change impacts.
