Climada: Urban flood resilience against riverine floods in Uganda and Nigeria

With increasing intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, climate change translates into unprecedented damages. This is especially true for communities in Africa. Applying climate risk analysis for Kampala/ Uganda and Lagos/Nigeria demonstrates the useful information of the methodology applied. Given the geographical similarities of the two African districts, climate risks will increase drastically for both by 2050. However, the results also reveal some interesting differences pointing once more to the importance to take the local context into account and break down national adaptation strategies to regional measures.
