Along the coastline of Awudum, a suburb in south-eastern Ghana, houses balance precariously over a slope, waiting to be swallowed into the Gulf of Guinea.
“This is the main street of the town,” says Emmanuel Davies, 28, pointing to a road just metres from the edge. “The sea is coming.”
Davies is one of thousands of Ghanaians who have lost their homes to coastal erosion and storm surges in recent years.
Locals say the problem has been exacerbated by the expansion of an industrial port that sits a couple of miles along the coastline. The expansion includes a new gas import terminal, partly funded by the British Government.
