Drought and water shortages, extreme temperatures, floods, cyclones, and storms pose a number of risks for Djibouti City residents.

The Global Center on Adaptation, in partnership with the government and other stakeholders, has conducted a Rapid Climate Risk Assessment (RCRA), revealing that extreme weather conditions such as high temperatures, drought, and floods are severely impacting lives and livelihoods in Djibouti City. These negative impacts of climate change are bound to get worse if the city does not adapt. Simple and affordable climate change risk management and adaptation measures that the city can implement were identified during the assessment.
