2023 - 2025
Locations
Beira, Mozambique | eThekwini, South Africa
Funded by
CLARE is a £110m, UK-Canada framework research programme on Climate Adaptation and Resilience, aiming to enable socially inclusive and sustainable action to build resilience to climate change and natural hazards.

About
Project summary
The INACCT Resilience project considers the realities of thousands of African people whose lives have been devastated by the impacts of extreme events such as intense flooding (likely to be made worse by climate change), and aims to provide forward-looking and inclusive solutions, as well as the proactive measures to achieve these solutions.

Project aims
- Promote co-learning and the co-creation of climate-resilient solutions between eThekwini, South Africa and Beira, Mozambique.
- Encourage inclusivity by giving voice to marginalized people and communities who have been affected by climate change in these contexts.
- Create Africa-specific climate-resilience solutions that can potentially help other cities on the continent become more resilient.
