Mozambique
Republic of Mozambique (Republica de Mocambique)
Mozambique is positioned to become a major global LNG producer, with the Rovuma Basin holding some of the world's largest offshore gas discoveries. TotalEnergies (Area 1), ExxonMobil (Area 4), and ENI (Coral Sul FLNG, already producing) are the key operators.
The economy is driven by LNG (emerging), coal mining in Tete Province, heavy mineral sands (titanium, zircon), agriculture (cashew nuts, sugar, tobacco), and logistics through the strategic Maputo, Beira, and Nacala corridors connecting landlocked neighbors to the Indian Ocean.
Investment facilitation is via APIEX. Key challenges include the Cabo Delgado insurgency (impacting TotalEnergies' Area 1 project timeline), high public debt following the 2016 hidden debt scandal, and limited infrastructure outside major corridors. Despite challenges, Mozambique's long-term LNG prospects make it one of Africa's most significant investment destinations.

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.
