Cameroon

Integrated Context
Cameroon spans a wide range of ecological zones, from Sahelian drylands in the north to dense tropical forests in the south. This diversity makes the country particularly exposed to multiple and overlapping climate risks. In recent years, climate variability has intensified drought conditions in northern regions, while flooding and land degradation are affecting central and southern areas.

At the same time, conflict and displacement in parts of the country have weakened local systems for managing land and natural resources. In affected regions, environmental pressures and instability often reinforce one another, reducing the ability of communities to adapt.

Building climate resilience in Cameroon therefore requires region-specific approaches that reflect local ecological conditions. This includes restoring degraded ecosystems, promoting sustainable land use, and strengthening the institutions responsible for managing forests, water, and agricultural systems.
