Building Resilience to Climate Change in Angola’s coastal cities

Project Objectives - Climate Change, Water Supply
in Coastal Settlements of Post-War Angola

• Improve knowledge about the climate and
hydrology in coastal areas of Angola by filling the
data gaps in order to understand trends and
variability.

• Improve information about settlement patterns and
population in four of Angola’s urban coastal cities,
housing over 10 million people. Assess the risks,
impact and vulnerability from flooding and erosion
at present and under future climate scenarios.

• Create tools for adaptation planning in Angola’s
urban coastal cities, especially for vulnerable social
groups, and develop options for better water and
settlement management.
