Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city3Access to education in any region is essential to the adaptation of climate change. KDLM can and has been using its position to act as a central repository for information on climate change and support organisations through existing contracts and networks.
15765273645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city4Although some people living within the municipal region can afford the necessities, some live under the poverty line, therefore cannot afford basic necessities to respond to the impacts of climate change.
15765373645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city5The number of shacks are increasing in the area; if this continues, this means that KwaDukuza will always experience these types of disasters, especially fires and flooding. Also of concern are the RDP houses that are built in wetland areas.
15765473645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city6At a regional level, the need to find a balance between economic growth and development in well-located coastal and corridor catchments, and concentrations of poverty and need, remains a key challenge, and one that is closely tied to the spatial future of KwaDukuza.
15765573645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city7The municipality has made significant investments in infrastructure and housing development, and as a result poverty and inequality has been decreasing steadily. However, the current rate of unemployment and poverty are key factors contributing to high inequality levels.
15765673645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city8A high level of unemployment leads to an increase number of communities living in abject poverty. The municipality faces challenges without a marketable and skilled work force, which creates a gap in productivity and has a negative impact on the economic growth path. A strategic approach by the municipality should be encouraged to ensure that more job opportunities are made available and economic development programmes are enhanced.
15765773645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city9Although progress is being made in the municipality to upgrade public health systems or services, and educate the public, much still needs to be done in this sector, especially for the vulnerable population.
15765873645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city10There is strong political will-power and good political and administrative stability. There is a good relationship between politicians and technical and administrative teams, which supports the municipality's adaptive capacity.
15765973645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city11The municipality has previously undertaken the development of a Climate Change Response Plan to identify what needs to be done to ensure the municipality is able to adapt to the negative impacts of the identified hazards. This ensures that the municipality is capacitated to respond. The Disaster Risk Management Department is also already working to respond to these hazards, however, but there is currently no link between the work done by the Disaster Risk Management department and work done in other departments around climate change.
15766073645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city12KwaDukuza must focus on allocating a higher proportion of the municipal budget to internal climate change capacity-building, mitigation and adaptation projects and processes. Allocating budget to climate change projects is not a priority for many municipalities, however, and pandemics such as Covid-19 make this situation worse.
15766173645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city13With the municipality regarded as the region’s economic hub, many people migrate to the area in search of better opportunities. This puts a strain on the municipality. For example, it might look as if the eradication of service delivery backlogs is slow – however the backlog might be growing as a result of unplanned growth due to migration.
15766273645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city14The municipality is in the process of developing a Safety and Security Plan.
15766373645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city15Informal settlements in KDLM often occur in environmentally high-risk areas, such as on steep slopes or in flood plains, where residents are threatened by mud slides and floods etc. When land is illegally occupied, zoning regulations are ignored, and the street layouts become very irregular. The municipality needs to set up a law enforcement unit to stop people attempting to illegally occupy land, particularly in high-risk areas.
15766473645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city16KDLM has continuous engagements and awareness campaigns in place at schools and around the town, not only to address mitigation but to also warn residents of any hazards likely to affect the community.
15766573645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city17Rapid urbanisation is yet another reason for the urban blight that KwaDukuza is experiencing.
15766673645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city18KDLM is especially vulnerable as it is situated around a number of rivers and downstream from an important regional dam, which can aggravate flooding when excess water needs to be released.
15766773645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city19Infrastructure dilapidation has become quite a problem for the municipality. Poor maintenance, limited funding to address infrastructure backlogs, and vandalism are just some of the reasons for infrastructure dilapidation and urban decay.
15766873645KwaDukuzaSouth AfricaAfrica2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city20With the municipality experiencing a high urban migration due to economic growth, there has been an increase in disruption of services. There has also been a major service backlog and a lack of maintenance of existing infrastructure, resulting in the infrastructure system being unable to service all communities.
