Djibouti
Republic of Djibouti
Djibouti is a strategic port state at the mouth of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. The economy is driven by port and logistics services (handling approximately 95% of Ethiopia's trade), military base revenues (hosting French, US, Chinese, Japanese, and Italian military bases), and free zone activities. The Djibouti International Free Trade Zone (DIFTZ), developed with China Merchants Group, is one of Africa's largest. Challenges include a small domestic economy, limited natural resources, water scarcity, and high temperatures. Djibouti's currency is pegged to the US dollar, providing stability for international trade.

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.
