3.6 billion people live in highly vulnerable areas.informal settlements are increasing 10% every year globally.Adapting to climate change is the most challenging in the most vulnerable informal settlements in India due to rapid urbanisation and migration. Informal settlements are at high risk, and it is vital to identify and address the informal settlements that are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. In informal settlements, residents are vulnerable to climatic events with limited infrastructure housing and adaptive capacity to cope. The thesis explores the climate vulnerability of informal settlements in Hyderabad city. with a methodology to identify the most vulnerable informal settlements that are affected by heat waves. Investigating how informal settlements either contribute to or encounter climate change consequences. At the local scale in the Talab katta informal settlement, an attempt was made to analyse the heat profile. Based on the results, adaptive measures were proposed to upgrade green-blue infrastructure as one of the nature-based Solutions. The thesis study offers practical insights for urban planning, neighbourhood scale and individual scale, investigating the Role of Green infrastructure adaptive measures in informal settlements to contribute to reaching the global Sustainable development goals for sustainable cities and communities. |
