Major findings on climate exposure and economic impact
- Samoa is highly exposed to natural hazards such as tropical cyclones, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, and floods.
- These natural hazards damage economic growth and impact debt sustainability adversely.
- Increasing frequency and intensity of coastal storms are likely to amplify damage to infrastructure and livelihoods.
- Slow-moving climate stresses such as sea level rise and increasing heat hazard are likely to impact potential growth in the main economic sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, and tourism.
