•The report collects information on stakeholder perceptions, attitudes, and preferences related to climate change risks and adaptation in Dakar
• Stakeholders perceive climate change impacts as being temporally close (already happening) but psychologically distant in nature (will have a bigger impact on those further away)
• When assessing risk acceptability according to various economic, health, social and environmental criteria, stakeholders rated a 1 in 25-year extreme coastal event as being generally unacceptable for Dakar
• Nature-based solutions and political measures were ranked as the most attractive adaptation solutions for Dakar
• Administrative and political effort, as well as financial constraints, were perceived as being the most critical barriers to adaptation implementation in Dakar
