  1. Climate Change and urban pressures intensify flood risk on the Gulf of Guinea coast

    Between 20–22 June, the coastal regions of the countries bordering the #GulfOfGuinea, particularly Côte d’Ivoire, #Ghana, #Togo, and #Nigeria, experienced exceptionally widespread and severe #flooding following intense and persistent #rainfall. In several locations, more than 140 mm of rain fell within less than 24 hours, overwhelming natural drainage systems and triggering extensive #FlashFloods.
    The floods affected a very densely populated region where rapid urbanisation and the expansion of formal and informal settlements into floodplains and conversion of natural vegetation to croplands have reduced natural drainage capacity and increased exposure to #flooding. Population growth is projected to continue its upward trajectory in this region, further increasing exposure in the decades to come.

  12. #GulfofGuinea: Piracy & armed robbery at sea is now the main issue influencing the geopolitical dynamics in this area - the new hotspot for attacks on ships. Here, foreign engagements are balanced by stronger African-led efforts to boost #MaritimeSecurity.
