They Call It Sodom and Gomorrah.Akua Calls It Home — A Story of Lived Realities in Slums as Climate Change Intensifies.
Description
In Accra’s slum communities like Old Fadama, climate change isn’t abstract it’s daily reality. Floods, extreme heat, poor sanitation, and limited healthcare collide to create a silent health crisis.
In this insightful episode of Conversations on Climate Change and Health,Dr. Bob Manteaw shares powerful stories of residents living with these vulnerabilities — and their resilience.
Together, we explore what urban health justice means, why ignoring slums weakens entire cities, and how building climate-resilient futures must begin with those most at risk.
Tune in and join the long-overdue conversations on climate change and health.
