How African cities can learn from each other about building climate resilience

Africa is extremely vulnerable to climate shocks, altering the lives of millions across the continent, particularly in cities and other urban areas.
Building resilience against the impact of climate change requires cities that can adapt, bounce back and thrive in the face of unforeseen shocks.
By coming together, embracing Indigenous knowledge and empowering citizens, cities can become a beacon of resilience and prosperity.
The climate is changing at an astronomical rate and the impact of this can be seen everywhere. Imagine stepping outside your apartment for an early morning jog, only to be greeted by a thick brown dust that makes breathing unpleasant.

The seasonal harmattan wind brings another round of degraded air quality that causes respiratory issues for many. Each year, it’s a stark reminder about how climate shocks are altering the everyday lives of millions of Africans, especially those living in cities.
