Touba
Senegal
Touba is projected to face alarming climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which are likely to lead to frequent heatwaves. The city will experience prolonged drought conditions, adversely impacting water resources and agriculture. Moreover, high arbovirus transmission risk indicates worsening public health challenges, as warmer temperatures could facilitate the spread of diseases. The risk of malaria is also expected to elevate due to shifting environmental conditions, making it necessary to monitor vector-borne diseases closely. Collectively, these factors indicate a future where climate resilience is a pressing concern that needs to be addressed to safeguard the urban population and their well-being.
