Want to build climate resilience in cities? Start with land rights. No land rights = no infrastructure. No water, no power, no roads. Secure tenure unlocks climate resilience from the ground up. Itโ€™s not just legal, it's foundational.

Urban greening shouldnโ€™t mean eviction. New parks, green corridors, flood defences - they raise land values fast. Without safeguards, they also push people out. This is green gentrification. And itโ€™s happening everywhere. Adaptation must protect people, not price them out.

Droughts & floods arenโ€™t opposites - theyโ€™re two sides of the same climate crisis. The fix? Smarter cities: nature-based solutions, resilient infrastructure, & inclusive planning. Cities must lead on climate action because there's no adapting without transforming.
