Haiti

Haiti faces numerous challenges. Alongside longstanding insecurity, violence and poverty, it is one of the countries most vulnerable to natural hazards. These include droughts, floods, hurricanes, landslides and tropical storms, and it is increasingly grappling with prolonged heat waves.

These frequent and extreme events hinder Haiti’s long-term development and ability to recover from repeated crises, underscoring the need for anticipatory action to mitigate the humanitarian impacts and bolster the resilience of its population.
