Jul 9, 2022 · Hydraulic modelling results suggest the issue of urban flooding will continue to increase in importance for Ouagadougou under climate and land-use change–based HIW storm events generated from CP4A climate projection data.
Jun 1, 2022 · This reveals that Ouagadougou remains vulnerable to climate change and that such extreme weather events will become more frequent. But it is also demonstrated the complexity of attributing extreme events at such localised ‘urban’ scales to atmospheric phenomena affected by global climate change.
Apr 18, 2024 · 18 Apr 2024. Human-caused climate change contributed to an unusually intense and lethal hot spell throughout West Africa’s Sahel region in April, according to a study by World Weather...
The most vulnerable sectors to climate change in Burkina Faso are water, health, agriculture, pastoralism, and forestry.

The sustainable development of African cities, especially in the face of climate change, was a key theme of the Ouagadougou speech. France supports this transition in African countries by aiding projects that facilitate the implementation of sustainable infrastructure in order to reduce African countries' carbon footprints, ensure they meet the ...
New research shows that the frequency of extreme storms in the Sahel has tripled in the last 35 years, apparently in response to global climate change. In Burkina Faso, this period has also been marked by large-scale urbanisation, but accompanied by low levels of investment in flood-resilient infrastructure and management.
failure to take due account of climate change in development policies and strategies; insufficient funding during implementation. However, adaptation to climate change is no longer a choice; it is the only option in the quest for sustainable development and a process which effectively includes all stakeholders needs to
