Teresina
Brazil
Teresina is projected to experience severe climate hazards, primarily characterized by extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes. The city will face frequent heatwaves and prolonged drought conditions, which may strain water resources and heighten health risks for its residents. Additionally, the risk of high arbovirus transmission will likely increase, raising public health concerns. The warming climate and altered precipitation patterns may also lead to an elevation in malaria risk. These compounded threats highlight the urgent need for awareness and proactive measures to address vulnerabilities in Teresina as climate change continues to escalate.
