Agadir
Morocco
Agadir is projected to experience frequent heatwaves, which will significantly increase public health risks through heat stress and related conditions. Furthermore, the city faces an elevated malaria risk due to climate-induced changes. Rising temperatures are anticipated to create optimal breeding conditions for malaria-carrying mosquitoes, which can lead to an increase in malaria cases. These climate hazards pose serious threats to both the health of the local population and the stability of the ecosystem. As these risks are expected to intensify in the future, it is essential for Agadir to comprehend and prepare for these vulnerabilities to ensure the health and well-being of its residents and the environment.
