Kithure Kindiki, speaking at the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, underscored the urgent plight of urban poverty in Africa and the developing world, noting that climate shocks like floods, droughts, heatwaves and violent winds hit the poorest city-dwellers hardest those already trapped in precarious housing and weak infrastructure. He highlighted Kenya’s own progressive social housing initiative and the Nairobi Rivers Regeneration Programme as models of locally-driven resilience for low-income urban communities. Kindiki called for enhanced UN support, financing, technology transfer and global coordination to scale up interventions that can protect the urban poor from climate-driven risks, emphasising that delays and bureaucratic obstacles carry real human costs.
