In Durban, rapid urban expansion and intensifying climate hazards, such as floods, have left many residents living in informal settlements vulnerable to housing insecurity and displacement. Precarious living conditions intersect with social and economic inequalities, threatening health, safety, and livelihoods. PATH’s research in the Durban Hub explores how communities navigate these challenges and how locally driven solutions can enhance resilience, aiming to inform adaptation strategies that center justice, inclusion, and the lived experiences of those most affected by urban climate risks.
