This study is carried out with the aim of collating the local impacts of climate change in the coastal area of Muanda in the DRC. Three pilot villages are selected because of their accessibility and ease of communication. Resource persons are sorted on the basis of level of study. For each village, 25 people are chosen, making a total of 75 for the three villages. Interviews and plenary sessions supplemented information on the local perception of climate change, as well as the vulnerability assessment.To assess the impacts of climate change, climate scenarios at the local (Muanda area) and regional (Africa) scales were evaluated using the Magicc/Scengen 5.3 software over a period of one hundred years, at the beginning of the century, in the middle of the century and towards the end of the century. Only the temperature variable is taken into account. The results revealed that the neighbouring inhabitants locally perceives and interprets the impacts of climate change through sea level rise, coastal erosion, the decline in fish and agricultural products, and drought. The projections also show that the temperature will only increase over time.
