Climate change in Senegal will have wide reaching impacts on many aspects of life in Senegal. Climate change will cause an increase in average temperatures over west Africa by between 1.5 and 4 °C (3 °F and 7 °F) by mid-century, relative to 1986–2005. Projections of rainfall indicate an overall decrease in rainfall and an increase in intense mega-storm events over the Sahel. The sea level is expected to rise faster in West Africa than the global average. Although Senegal is currently not a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, it is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change.

  • Climate change in Senegal will have wide reaching impacts on many aspects of life in Senegal. Climate change will cause an increase in average temperatures over west Africa by between 1.5 and 4 °C (3 °F and 7 °F) by mid-century, relative to 1986–2005. Projections of rainfall indicate an overall decrease in rainfall and an increase in intense mega-storm events over the Sahel. The sea level is expected to rise faster in West Africa than the global average. Although Senegal is currently not a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, it is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. Extreme drought is impacting agriculture, and causing food and job insecurity. More than 70% of the population is employed in the agricultural sector. Sea level rise and resulting coastal erosion is expected to cause damage to coastal infrastructure and displace a large percentage of the population living in coastal areas. Climate change also has the potential to increase land degradation that will likely increase desertification in eastern Senegal, leading to an expansion of the Sahara. Climate change adaptation policies and plans are important to help Senegal prepare and adapt. In 2006, Senegal submitted its National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The NAPA identifies water resources, agriculture, and coastal zones as the country's most vulnerable sectors. In 2015, Senegal released its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC's) that indicated climate change would be treated as a national priority. (en)

Se prevé que la subida del nivel del mar y la consiguiente erosión costera causen daños en las infraestructuras costeras y desplacen a un gran porcentaje de la población que vive en las zonas costeras. El cambio climático también tiene el potencial de aumentar la degradación de la tierra, lo que probablemente incrementará la desertificación en el este de Senegal, provocando la expansión del Sahara.​ Las políticas y planes de adaptación al cambio climático son importantes para ayudar a Senegal a prepararse y adaptarse. En 2006, Senegal presentó su Programa Nacional de Acción para la Adaptación (PNA) a la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático.​ El PNA identifica los recursos hídricos, la agricultura y las zonas costeras como los sectores más vulnerables del país.​ En 2015, Senegal publicó sus Contribuciones Previstas Determinadas a Nivel Nacional (CPDN), que indicaban que el cambio climático sería tratado como una prioridad nacional.​ (es)
