Abstract :
[en] This chapter uses earth observation tools and field work to identify and analyze the various climatic threats to the city of Kribi and to propose adaptation and sustainable development measures for this seaside city. From the geomorphological point of view, Kribi borders the vast southern Cameroonian plateau. The Kribian climate is equatorial according to the Guinean type, characterized by four seasons, that is to say, two dry seasons and two rainy seasons. The years with the lowest rainfall were 1973 and 1983. Among the hydro-climatic risks that affect the city of Kribi are floods. Coastal erosion is the major risk in the city of Kribi. It is expressed by the sea's advance onto the land. Between 1980 and 2016, land use in the city of Kribi underwent a remarkable change. To sustainably manage natural hazards in a city like Kribi it is essential to consider measures likely to curb their harmful effects.
