Burkina Faso faces significant environmental challenges from climate change despite minimal global emissions (0.01% of CO2). The landlocked Sahel nation experiences rising temperatures, frequent droughts, floods, and land degradation affecting one-third of its territory. Agriculture-dependent livelihoods are vulnerable, but initiatives like greenbelts around Ouagadougou, reforestation, and Paris Agreement commitments aim to build resilience. Water scarcity, erosion, and extreme heat exacerbate food insecurity for its 20 million population.
