In Cape Town, diverse climate risks from rising sea levels, droughts, and floods have been shown to worsen the social inequalities in the city. Empowering the communities around how NbS might alleviate risk particularly in areas with high social inequalities, can enhance the city’s climate resilience.

For example, the City of Cape Town has been working on the Green Infrastructure programme, the Liveable Urban Waterways programme and the C40 Cities Finance Facility supported NbS project for flood resilience.
