Goiânia

Brazil

Goiânia is projected to face significant climate hazards in the coming years, impacting both health and the environment. The city will likely experience more extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, alongside frequent heatwaves that threaten public health. Additionally, climate change is expected to lead to an increase in heavy precipitation events, raising the risk of flooding and water-related illnesses. Coupled with these challenges, the risk of arbovirus transmission will rise, resulting in greater potential for diseases such as dengue fever. Also, the city faces an elevated risk of malaria due to changes in climate. These vulnerabilities create a pressing need for strategies to mitigate and adapt to the anticipated climate impacts on Goiânia’s residents and ecosystems.
