Sustaining Urban Water Supply under Climate Change
The resilience of African cities is constantly under threat from an assortment of forces, one of which is global climate change. While climate change or variability is mainly thought of as a problem in agriculture under rural set-ups, actually, its impact in urban areas, where most Africans will live by 2030, is equally devastating (Emilsson and Sang, 2017; Miller and Hutchins, 2017). Cities are sustained by food and water supplies, which are subject to climatic forces. Africa is urbanizing much faster than the other continents, putting infrastructure and service delivery systems under immense pressure (Parnell and Walawege, 2011; Anderson et al., 2013).

Resilience and Sustainability of the Mississippi River Delta as a Coupled Natural- Human System
The Mississippi River Delta (MRD) coastal region contributes an estimated $45 billion in revenue annually to the state of Louisiana and has a natural capital asset value estimated between $330 billion and $1.3 trillion. Draining approximately 3.2 km2 of land, the Mississippi is the largest river in North American with the U.S. largest riverine transport hubs between Baton Rouge and New Orleans and has built the world’s 3rd largest river delta.
