Ribeirao Preto
Brazil
Ribeirao Preto is projected to face significant climate hazards in the future, particularly through extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes. These conditions are likely to increase the frequency of heatwaves, adversely affecting public health and overall livability. Additionally, the city is at an elevated risk for arbovirus transmission, which may lead to outbreaks of diseases such as dengue and Zika. The future also indicates a higher risk of malaria transmission, as warmer temperatures create favorable conditions for mosquito breeding. Collectively, these climate vulnerabilities pose serious threats to public health and require urgent attention to address the risks associated with a warming climate and its cascading effects on the population's well-being.
