Abstract Northern Mozambique has been faced with increasing compound risks over the last few years, with rising climatic and political instability, in a region already affected by persistent poverty despite positive growth trends at the national level. Cyclone Kenneth and the COVID-19 pandemic, amid rising political violence, have afflicted Cabo Delgado populations and aggravated the situation of those most vulnerable, posing a very significant threat to the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in this region. This chapter analyses risks affecting this region from the perspective of human capabilities and just adaptation. It analyses how multiple vulnerability factors led to 'clusters' of disadvantages over the last few years (2015'2021), which calls for an integrated approach to climatic and post-COVID resilience. - info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
