( IPCC 2012 ). For African countries, impacts of natural hazards are projected to be 20–30 times larger than in industrialized countries ( IPCC 2014 ). The most severe climate change impacts can be expected for regions of high population density and poverty rates ( Müller et al. 2014 ), as often observed in African cities. Hirabayashi et al. (2013) found a high consistency among global climate models predicting large increases in flood frequency in Africa under the strongest climate change scenario
