Risk and Repair: Equity and Adaptation in a Changing Climate | Tabadlab LIVE

As climate impacts intensify, so do urban risks – especially in densely populated cities like Karachi and Nairobi, where extreme weather and urban flooding intersect with existing socio-economic vulnerabilities. Governance challenges, from inadequate infrastructure to fragmented policymaking, exacerbate existing threats, leaving communities to fend for themselves. How do we reframe our understanding of urban risk in the context of climate change? What can we learn about infrastructure, adaptation, and justice from the experiences of those who are vulnerable across multiple dimensions, like gender, income, and geography? What policy lessons emerge and how can they inform more equitable and resilient urban futures? Watch the full conversation with Dr Nausheen H. Anwar, Director, Karachi Urban Lab at the Institute of Business Administration, discusses this and more with Dr Zainab Latif, Senior Fellow, Tabadlab.
