Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone is highly vulnerable to climate change, with recurrent hazards – including droughts, floods, tropical storms and wildfires – expected to become more intense in the coming years. It is also vulnerable to disease outbreaks and epidemics, while landslides are a threat in some areas.  

Anticipatory action offers a way to help people at risk from these hazards and efforts to develop this approach in the country are under way.
