profile Niger spans across zones 2, 3 and 4 in the north, southwest and southeast, respectively. Summary of analysis relevant to Niger Report section The northern two-thirds of Niger lies in dry tropical desert, while the southern part of the country is characterised by Sahelian climate. About one-fifth
at the tropopause. About 80% of the atmosphere lies within the troposphere. In the troposphere, the average temperature decreases with height. It is also in the troposphere that nearly all the weather we experience on the Earth is to be found. The Tropopause: The atmospheric boundary between the troposphere

change scenarios. • The projection ranges are based on the 5th to 95th percentiles of the underlying model distributions. There may be a greater than 10% chance that the real-world response lies outside the 5th to 9th percentile range and this likelihood cannot be accurately quantified. Substantial
with little choice but to settle in riskier places (Hallegatte, 2017; Dodman et al, 2022). Those include low-lying areas of the rapidly growing coastal cities of Pointe- Noir (R. Congo), Libreville (Gabon), Luanda and Lobito (Angola), Malabo (Equatorial Guinea) and Douala (Cameroon), threatened
retreat is a particular risk in Central Africa due to the profusion of low-lying sandy beaches; a 2018 study identified erosion hotspots in Gabon and Angola and two accretion hotspots in Angola/DRC (Luijendijk et al., 2018). 21 2022, Met Office Figure 3: Baseline climate for the Central Africa region
