Climate change impacts in Africa and adaptation strategies
- 5. Ouagadougou Floods
- 10. 10 HADLEY
- 19. Urban population in low-elevation coastal zone
Editor's Notes
- They house most economic growth - 87% of total GDP in low and middle income nations now from industry and services - Successful economies need well-functioning urban centres Urban populations already facing difficulties with extreme weather events - High vulnerability of infants & young children including impacts on long term development as well as more immediate impacts - Disruptions that affect urban livelihoods Urban centres / districts at risk of sea-level rise - on coasts with settlements and water sources at risk Urban populations that cannot adapt - Those that cannot change locations Urban populations with the least resilience - There will be lots of disasters; how large their impact is dependent on what is done in advance regarding preparedness Successful adaptation not possible if local government refuses to work with the poor and sees them as a problem Building adaptive capacity in tens of thousands of localities to the many impacts of climate change that: supports & works with reduction of risks to other environmental hazards is strongly pro-poor builds on knowledge acquired over the last 20 years on reducing risk from disasters is based on and builds a strong local knowledge base of climate variability and of likely local impacts from climate-change scenarios encourages and supports actions that reduce risks (and vulnerabilities) now, while recognizing the importance of measures taken now for needed long-term changes

- CAPAs and LAPAs driving NAPAs Learn from good experiences e.g. Durban at city level Explore synergies between local development and adaptation Get the attention of the ‘development’ bits of local government Build on innovations in local development successes community-led & municipal led ‘slum’ and squatter upgrading & housing finance; a lot of innovation to draw on
