Angola: mid-pack overall, with governance the main pressure. Its overall risk score is 51 out of 100 (medium), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.

What drives Angola's risk?

Angola's highest pressures are governance (79, high) and adaptation (73). Its strongest area is nature (25).

How might Angola's climate change by 2080?

Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), about 28% of Angola's land shifts toward a warmer climate zone by 2080, lifting its climate-hazard pressure index from 74 to 74 out of 100. This Koppen-based outlook is a separate, forward-looking measure from the historical ND-GAIN scores.

How much will Angola warm by 2080?

Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Angola is on track to warm by +2.9 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by +18 mm; under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5) the warming is about +2.2 °C. Based on CMIP6 multi-model projections against a 1970-2000 baseline.

How much will sea levels rise along Angola's coast?

Coastal sea level along Angola is projected to rise by +0.86 m by 2100 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), and by about +0.60 m under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5). Based on the regional median of IPCC AR6 projections.

How will water stress change in Angola?

The share of Angola under high water stress is projected to move from 19% today to 24% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct projections.

How will river-flood exposure change in Angola?

The share of Angola exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 1.7% today to 2.2% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.

When was Angola's risk data last updated?

Updated September 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
