Climate change: Crosscutting report Working Paper 27 (African Cities Research Consortium)

Urban Africa is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. This report synthesises the research conducted by the African Cities Research Consortium (ACRC) in 12 African cities across eight “domains” (key areas of urban power, policy and practice): housing; informal settlements; land and connectivity; structural transformation; neighbourhood and district economic development; youth and capability development;health, wellbeing and nutrition; and safety and security. The report focuses on climate-change-related findings across these domains, highlighting the importance of participatory approaches and inclusive planning to address the impacts of climate change on a range of complex urban challenges.
