| | | Title | Sustainable Cities: Urban Areas and Climate Change in Sierra Leone | | Author | World Bank | | Date of Publication | 2023 | | Publisher | World Bank | | Abstract | Sierra Leone is highly vulnerable to natural hazards whose impacts are exacerbated by unplanned rapid urbanization. The main victims of climate change risks and impacts in urban Sierra Leone are the urban poor who also bear the brunt of multiple crises such as Ebola and Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19). In response to these impacts, local councils are front and center in implementing climate action activities in Sierra Leone. Therefore, this report situates local councils at the center of climate action. By focusing at the urban and community level, it has three objectives: (i) Identify the risks and impacts of climate change, (ii) Explore what local councils are already doing, and (iii) Determine what they could do more of, or better. | | Filesize | 12967963 MB | | File Format | PDF | | [ View / download original document ] |
