Abstract
The study concludes that climate change impacts are not a steady or isolated process; rather they are events that are interlinked. Extreme climate events in coastal zones have been proven to increase urban poverty since climate migrants often have little or no infrastructure at their disposal. Indeed climate change can impact on a range of sectors such as, agriculture, health, employment and housing. Cumulative impacts represent increasing challenges for the existing urban system. This study allows a better recognition of the cumulative nature of impacts and may provide for more cost effective resolution to minimize urban conflict.
