Cape Verde, a small island developing state in the Atlantic, grapples with acute climate vulnerabilities including temperature rises of approximately 1°C over the past 30 years, intensifying droughts, and sea level rise averaging 3.2 mm/year. With a population of 556,000, the archipelago has limited industrial pollution leading to stable air quality, but water scarcity affects 20% of households. Renewable energy now constitutes 30% of electricity, supporting Paris Agreement commitments, while protected areas cover 22% of land to safeguard endemic species.
