Cities in Africa are some of the most vulnerable to climate change in the world, and for them to become more resilient, a significant amount of funding is required to enable climate change adaptation. However, Africa as a region has received the least climate change finance to date. In 2016 as little as 4.1% (USD 19 billion) of global climate finance flowed to Africa. Of the funds that are directed to African countries, very little flows to the city-level, where climate change impacts are felt most keenly, and most is allocated to climate change mitigation, not adaptation, despite adaptation being a major priority in Africa.
