Africa faces severe impacts from climate change, threatening its socio-economic stability and deepening inequalities, particularly in urban areas. These densely populated regions are vulnerable to climate-related hazards. Join us for an event on “Just Urban Transition,” where African city officials will discuss the intersection of climate change and urban justice, drawing on experiences from BMZ-funded projects. The event will explore strategies to integrate climate adaptation into urban planning and advance the SDGs, featuring a panel discussion and Q&A on inclusive, resilient urban development across Africa.
