Cuiab
Brazil
Cuiab is projected to face multiple climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, leading to health risks for residents. The city will likely experience frequent heatwaves, which can strain water resources and health systems. Moreover, frequent heavy precipitation could increase flooding risks, adversely impacting infrastructure and housing stability. Prolonged drought conditions may result in significant water scarcity, threatening agriculture and overall water availability. Additionally, the high risk of arbovirus transmission indicates public health challenges associated with climate change. These compounding vulnerabilities underscore the urgent need for effective management to mitigate risks posed by these climate hazards, as Cuiab navigates an increasingly uncertain future.
