African cities are key stakeholders in planning and implementing the resilience of populations and infrastructures facing climate change, and in integrating their development into the objectives of sustainable development.
The majority of the required adaptation measures are or will be locally implemented. The local scale is relevant when facing challenges varying according to context, and it also allows the implementation of necessary mitigation and adaptation strategies.
