São José dos Campos
Brazil
São José dos Campos is projected to experience several climate hazards that threaten its resilience. The city will face frequent heatwaves, leading to increased health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations who may struggle with heat stress. These extreme temperatures not only pose direct health threats but also put pressure on energy systems and agriculture, compounding the challenges faced by residents. Furthermore, the elevated risk of malaria indicates changing climatic conditions, which may provide favorable environments for disease transmission. This dual challenge of extreme heat and potential disease outbreak significantly heightens public health risks. As the city navigates these climate hazards, understanding and addressing these vulnerabilities will be essential for safeguarding the well-being of its community and planning for a sustainable future.
