Chad

Chad is heavily affected by climate-related hazards, notably droughts, floods, landslides and storms. The impacts of these are compounded by the country’s fragility, with recurrent instances of conflict leading to forced displacement. The country also struggles with poverty and stagnated economic growth. 

Anticipatory action offers a way to help those at risk from forecastable hazards and there are efforts under way to embed this approach within the country’s disaster risk management infrastructure.
