Senegal is one of the countries where the impacts of climate change are already significantly affecting the livelihoods of its population, particularly in coastal regions. The consequences of climate change in Senegal go beyond the loss of livelihoods such as fishing and homes destroyed by floods or coastal erosion, and include low agricultural productivity, land salinization, intrusion of saltwater, increased disease burden, and ecosystem degradation. Protective measures, especially for vulnerable population groups, and the accountability for damages and their compensation are inadequately addressed and implemented. Oxfam in Senegal carries out numerous projects aimed at strengthening community resilience, improving living conditions for populations, and reducing glaring social, economic, and climate inequalities within society.

Here, you will find the demands that represent Senegal's priorities integrated with Oxfam's global demands for COP 28. Additionally, you will find analyses and stories of communities impacted by climate change in Senegal and why it is crucial to take action now!
