Max depth: the deepest water within 12 km of the city center in a 100-year coastal flood in 2080, under RCP8.5 with high-end sea-level rise (95th percentile), ignoring flood defenses and land subsidence. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods.

Common questions

Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.

  • How risky is Togo?

    Togo: mid-pack overall, with governance the main pressure. Its overall risk score is 50 out of 100 (medium), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.

  • What drives Togo's risk?

    Togo's highest pressures are governance (75, high) and adaptation (64). Its strongest area is nature (26).

  • How might Togo's climate change by 2080?

    Togo's climate zones stay broadly stable through 2080 even under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5); its Koppen-based climate-hazard pressure index holds near 76 out of 100. This forward-looking outlook is separate from the historical ND-GAIN scores.

  • How much will Togo warm by 2080?

    Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Togo is on track to warm by +2.5 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by +89 mm; under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5) the warming is about +2.0 °C. Based on CMIP6 multi-model projections against a 1970-2000 baseline.

  • How much will sea levels rise along Togo's coast?

    Coastal sea level along Togo is projected to rise by +0.80 m by 2100 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), and by about +0.58 m under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5). Based on the regional median of IPCC AR6 projections.

  • How will water stress change in Togo?

    The share of Togo under high water stress is projected to move from 0% today to 0.1% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct projections.

  • How will river-flood exposure change in Togo?

    The share of Togo exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 2.8% today to 1.8% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.

  • When was Togo's risk data last updated?

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