Abstract

The article discusses the threat of rising sea levels and flooding to Banjul, the capital of The Gambia. The city's vulnerability is attributed to natural and human-induced factors, such as sand mining and mangrove cutting. The impacts of climate change have led to displacement, economic losses, and environmental degradation, prompting calls for urgent intervention and sustainable solutions, including tree planting and ecosystem restoration initiatives. The article highlights the challenges faced by residents, fishers, and businesses in Banjul, emphasizing the need for collective action to protect the city from further environmental degradation and ensure its long-term resilience.
