Gabon
Gabonese Republic
Gabon is a high-income African economy (by GDP per capita) driven by oil and gas, manganese mining (world's second-largest producer via COMILOG/Eramet), and forestry. Oil production has declined from peak levels but remains the economic backbone. Following the August 2023 military takeover, the transitional government has pledged democratic elections. Gabon's relatively small population (2.3 million) and significant resource wealth provide high per-capita income by African standards. The Libreville Special Economic Zone targets manufacturing and agro-processing. Challenges include economic diversification, governance reform, and infrastructure development outside Libreville.

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.
