Despite adaptation efforts, climate-induced disasters are increasingly affecting vulnerable urban communities. Using case studies from Sao Paulo (Brazil), Nairobi (Kenya) and Jakarta (Indonesia), the research summary commissioned by Misereor and conducted by UNU-EHS and MCII analyses how vulnerability, exposure and climate-related hazards cause economic and non-economic losses and damages in urban informal settlements. It identifies strategies to avert, minimise and address losses and damages, and how financing mechanisms should be designed to ensure adequate support for the most climate-vulnerable urban communities.
