Afrique: 'Le brun est beau' - Ce que Windhoek peut apprendre aux villes africaines

|
By Gaby B. Hansen, Christina Breed
| AllAfrica.com Français
De nombreuses villes africaines ont commencé à élaborer des plans climatiques. Ceux-ci promettent des rues plus fraîches, des forêts urbaines et des toits végétalisés. Cette adaptation des villes au changement climatique est devenue une priorité urgente. Windhoek, la capitale de la Namibie, est une ville en pleine expansion qui s'étend sur des collines et dans des vallées. Ses banlieues côtoient des quartiers informels en pleine expansion.

Brown is beautiful: What Namibia’s capital Windhoek can teach African cities as they get hotter and drier

|
By Gaby B. Hansen, Christina Breed
| Down To Earth Verified
Many African cities have started drawing up climate plans. These promise cooler streets, urban forests and green roofs on buildings. This urban climate adaptation has become an urgent priority. Windhoek, Namibia’s capital, is a fast-growing city spread across hills and valleys. Its suburbs stand alongside expanding informal settlements. But life in this dry city is becoming harder. Rainfall is low and unpredictable and temperatures rise as high as 40°C.

Evidence and insights on dryland nature-based solutions for climate adaptation in semi-arid Windhoek, Namibia

|
By Christina Breed, Gaby B. Hansen
| Nature Verified
Abstract Nature-based solutions (NbS) are widely promoted for climate adaptation, yet remain largely grounded in temperate, water-abundant contexts. This study develops a systematic conceptualisation of dryland nature-based solutions (DNbS) through a qualitative case study of Windhoek, Namibia. Drawing on four locally implemented projects and sixteen stakeholder interviews, it examines how adaptation practices are understood and applied in an arid urban environment.
