    The document provides climate change projections and impacts for Burkina Faso in the Volta Basin region. It predicts a 1.6-2.8 degree Celsius increase in temperatures by 2050 along with more frequent and intense heavy rainfall and longer dry periods. This will negatively impact agriculture and livelihoods through crop loss and failure, and reduce water availability and land quality. Health risks will also rise due to worsening food insecurity, heat stress, flooding and increased waterborne and vector diseases. The WMO plans to improve climate monitoring and forecasting to help address these challenges.
