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.enClimate changeClimate RiskHuman settlementsBook ChapterVan Niekerk, C.
