Florianópolis
Brazil
Florianópolis is projected to experience significant climate hazards, primarily heavy rainfall events and an elevated risk of malaria. The increased frequency of intense rainfall is expected to lead to flooding, damaging infrastructure and ecosystems, as well as increasing the likelihood of landslides. This situation not only affects community safety but also poses economic challenges. Moreover, as rainfall patterns shift, the risk of malaria is anticipated to rise, jeopardizing public health, particularly for vulnerable groups. These interconnected climate threats highlight the city's vulnerability and underscore the urgent need for resilience strategies to address these pressing climate-related challenges in the future.
