How do marginalized communities face more vulnerability to climatic events?
Is there secure and affordable housing for ALL citizens?
Current state of formal housing availability
Colonial policies continue to the present
land policies exclude the poor
Housing rights give access to affordable housing that is secure from environmental degradation
Issue in Lagos is the lack of housing for "slum" denizens
Unfortunately this marginalizes low income populations
heat, erosion, and flooding are all subject to destroying the housing for marginalized communities
the housing is located in areas prone to flooding
lagoons
coastal zones
also a lack of safety in place for roads and drainage
What role do government policies play in contributing to vulnerability?
There is unequal access to adequate resources
Government does not attend to these issues
more inclusive urban development has to be incorporated
limited access to electricity and water services
Urban planning structurally discriminates against people of lower incomes in Lagos
What adaptation strategies are in place that prevent resilience in slum communities?
socioeconomic barriers lie in place to prevent lower income communities from securing better housing
poor maintenance of the land contributes to flood vulnerability
reducing structural inequalities could bring justice to humanity
environmental impacts
Recommendations
community based engagement
changes in policy
collabs with grassroot movements
Vulnerability
Also a lack of early warning systems for disasters
This puts communities more at risk
