 Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. For an effective response, we need strong partnerships. Citi's Alliance is supporting local initiatives to adapt to climate change in informal settlements across the world. Here are their voices. Bawaisi is one of the biggest informal settlements in Uganda's capital. And as in other parts of the world, residents are suffering from the effects of climate change. In most cases, we ignore the impacts of climate change on cities and especially slums. Due to poor waste disposal and inadequate drainage systems, people in the community constantly face the impacts of floods. The resultant flooding in Uganda's capital, Kampala, negatively impacts the livelihoods of the people in these communities, exposes them to water-borne diseases. With the support of Citi's Alliance, pre-adoption Uganda is implementing the Waste Management for Flood Control project. It aims to sensitize and educate Bawaisi's residents on waste management. We are training members of this community on waste management. We are training members of this community on waste management. And especially waste segregation. But why is these residents are now putting a value on their waste and garbage? The briquettes can either be sold or they can be used for cooking domestically. Other community members are also making a profit from selling used plastic. In Bawaisi, waste is now looked at as an opportunity instead of a problem, and residents are working with local government for flood control solutions. The community is becoming more resilient and finding new ways to make a living.
