Mozambique is extremely prone to recurring hydrometeorological hazards and its population is at the same time highly vulnerable due to gaps in basic and social services, underlying poverty, and deprivations. The frequency of severe floods, droughts and tropical storms including cyclones has been increasing in Mozambique. The Global Climate Risk Index 2021 assesses impacts of extreme weather events (fatalities and economic losses) and ranks Mozambique as the 5th most affected country for the period of 2000-2019. |
