- Abstract
- This study critically examines the effects of climate change on vulnerable communities, with an eye on the effectiveness of any interventions being suggested and proffered by government and its development partners. The study delves into the phenomenon of climate change, with a deliberate focus on urban life and how much the phenomenon has altered it. Through employing a qualitative approach, the research investigates the policy's implementation at local, regional, and national levels, shedding light on the discrepancies between policy intentions and practical outcomes. Through qualitative interviews and administered questionnaires, the lived experiences and perspectives of citizens and development practitioners are explored, offering valuable insights into the shortcomings of what is being done thus far. The findings of this study underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions and policy reform to address the identified gaps. The research concludes by proposing actionable recommendations aimed at enhancing the fight against climate change, at a time when the scourge is becoming more and more threatening
