Ciudad del Este
Paraguay
Ciudad del Este is projected to face significant climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes that will increase the frequency of heatwaves. The region is also expected to experience heavier rainfall events, which heighten the risk of flooding and waterborne diseases. The climate conditions will likely lead to a high risk of arbovirus transmission, affecting public health, as well as an elevated malaria risk tied to the changing environment. These climate vulnerabilities pose substantial challenges to the local population and infrastructure, indicating the necessity for proactive measures to address the expected impacts of these climate hazards in the future.
