Abstract

This report presents the results of the risk assessment developed in Dakar. The risk assessment considers current coastal erosion and flood risk, as well as the evolution under different future climate change scenarios (RCP 4.5, 8.5) and timeframes (2050, 2100). The report presents some estimates of the population at risk and potential damages due to coastal flooding.
