GDP exposure to wildfire, flood, sea level rise, or storms in Africa 2050, by country
By 2050, Cape Verde and Burkina Faso are likely to have their entire GDPs exposed to losses due to physical climate risks such as wildfire, floods, sea level rise, or storms. Considering a moderate emissions scenario, Ethiopia's economy would also be at high risk, with 93 percent of the country's GDP exposed to losses. In general, the most affected African countries are located around the equator. Nations in the continent's south are less affected, especially those with a current stronger economy, like South Africa.
