Abstract

Cities are epicentres of economic growth, but also the frontline of climate and economic vulnerabilities. Rising temperatures and extreme weather events threaten infrastructure and development gains. Resilient cities, capable of withstanding and recovering from various shocks and stresses, are increasingly crucial in Africa. This article explores the evolving landscape of resilience financing in Africa, the role of Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), and recommendations for investment in urban resilience.
