Uberlândia

Brazil

Uberlândia is projected to experience significant climate hazards that threaten its stability and health. The city will face increased frequency and intensity of heatwaves, escalating public health risks. Additionally, frequent heavy precipitation is expected, intensifying flood risks and disrupting infrastructure. The likelihood of high arbovirus transmission is anticipated to rise, resulting in elevated cases of mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue. Furthermore, the city faces an increased risk of malaria due to shifting climatic conditions favoring the proliferation of malaria-carrying mosquitoes. These intertwined climate challenges present critical vulnerabilities, demanding urgent attention to safeguard community health and resilience in the face of future climate change impacts.
