dc.description Chapter in: Climate Risk and Vulnerability: A Handbook for Southern Africa, 2nd Edition en_US
dc.description.abstract This chapter describes some of the key drivers and processes of vulnerability and risks in human settlements in southern Africa that pose considerable challenges, but also opportunities, for climate change adaptation. Data for the whole of southern Africa (excluding Mauritius and Seychelles) are provided for two of these key processes, namely urbanisation and informality. The potential climate risks and their consequences for settlements in the SADC region are discussed. The chapter concludes with a number of response measures that address both hard and soft adaptation options for cities, but, more importantly, the underlying key processes that drive risk and vulnerability. en_US
