Angola
Republic of Angola
Angola is sub-Saharan Africa's second-largest oil producer and the continent's sixth-largest economy. The economy is heavily dependent on petroleum, which accounts for approximately 95% of exports and 60% of government revenue. Sonangol, the state oil company, is a central economic actor.
Under President Joao Lourenco, the government has pursued significant economic reforms including privatization of state assets, anti-corruption campaigns, and FX liberalization (the kwanza was floated in 2019). Angola is seeking to diversify into agriculture, fisheries, mining (diamonds), and manufacturing.
Key challenges include infrastructure deficits, high cost of living in Luanda, limited human capital, and vulnerability to oil price shocks. The Luanda Corridor and Lobito Corridor (connecting DRC mining regions to Angola's Atlantic port) are major infrastructure investments.

Climate Readiness Full ranking
How this is computed
Adaptive capacity to absorb climate finance and adapt, following the readiness dimension of the ND-GAIN framework. Built only from measured values already held on each country profile. It is not a measure of emissions or physical climate vulnerability, which the platform does not yet hold.
- Energy access (30%) — World Bank, access to electricity (% of population). The single most climate and energy specific signal held: SDG 7 and the clean-energy transition.
- Governance readiness (20%) — Transparency International, Corruption Perceptions Index (0-100). ND-GAIN governance readiness: the capacity to govern and deploy climate finance. Higher is cleaner.
- Human readiness (20%) — UNDP, Human Development Index (0-1). ND-GAIN social readiness: the adaptive capacity of the population.
- Economic readiness (15%) — World Bank, GDP per capita (current US$), latest measured year. ND-GAIN economic readiness: the capacity to finance adaptation. Scored relative to the covered set.
- Digital readiness (15%) — World Bank, individuals using the Internet (% of population). Information systems for early warning and adaptation.
A country is scored only when at least 4 of the five indicators are held. Sub-scores are weighted and renormalised over the indicators that are present; nothing is estimated for one that is absent.
