Flooding and extreme temperatures
were identified as the major climate
change hazards in the Mukuru informal
settlement in a Rapid Climate Risk
Assessment undertaken by the Global
Center on Adaptation together with the
government and other partners.
Additionally, residents are affected
by air pollution, landslides, extreme
temperatures, and drought. The climate
risk management and adaptation
measures identified in the exercise are
simple and within reach.
