The map shows the level of risk when combining temperature (hazard) and population (exposure), for different periods into the future and different warming scenarios. Risk Categorizations are calculated
The Environment Protection Agency, as the national agency coordinating climate change issues in Sierra Leone acknowledges that climate variability and climate change will continue to impact
Sierra Leone - Trends & Variability (ERA5) - 02 - Spatially Aggregated Trends and Significance This section presents visualizations of spatially aggregated time series (at the country or subnational
Climate change typically shifts the climate system to a new mean and to increased variability. These two effects commonly result in more frequent and intense temperature maximums, fewer minimum
ABSTRACT: Sierra Leone faces important development challenges. This includes dealing with the impacts of climate change such as rising temperatures, more frequent extreme hot days, and
As climate change intensifies, these processes are expected to accelerate, driving more significant regional and global sea level rise. Continued warming will have far-reaching implications for coastal
Historical sea level rise has been significant, with global mean sea level increasing by approximately 210–240 millimeters since 1880. Over one-third of this rise has occurred in just the past 25 years,
Sierra Leone Mean Projections (CMIP6) This page presents Sierra Leone''s projected climate. The Mean Projections page offers CCKP''s complete suite of indicators for in-depth analysis into future climate
Sierra Leone - Climatology (ERA5) - Climatology (ERA5) This page presents Sierra Leone''s climate context for the current climatology, 1991-2020 and historical record from 1950-2023. Data is derived
This chapter serves a link between the physical process of climate change and the impacts in order to understand how climate change will intersect with the existing development context presented in the
Sierra Leone''s water resources are under increasing strain from climate change and human activity. The country''s water supply is critical for
It provides an overview of the climate and development risks facing Sierra Leone, models scenarios of select climate effects and adaptation, and proposes strategies to enhance resilience, steer the
Due to its geography and climate, Sierra Leone faces significant climate risks, including floods, landslides, droughts, and coastal erosion, which are exacerbated by climate change and
In its updated NDC, Sierra Leone defined a progressive path forward for cutting greenhouse gases emissions from 2005 levels: 5% by 2025, 10% by 2030, and
This page offers a comprehensive overview of Sierra Leone''s climate zones of temperature and precipitation with reflection of their climatological seasonal cycle, drawing on the Köppen-Geiger
This page presents Sierra Leone''s climate context for the current climatology, 1991-2020, derived from observed, historical data. Information should be used to build a strong understanding of current
Sierra Leone''s historic warming impact is around 2,400 megatonnes of CO2‑equivalents-well under 0.1% of the global total (about 0.06%). Yet, averaged over its changing population, the
