Bamako

Mali

Bamako is projected to experience severe climate hazards that will amplify its vulnerabilities. The city will face extreme heat, including dangerous heat extremes, which pose serious health risks for residents. Prolonged drought conditions are anticipated, threatening water supply and agricultural output. Furthermore, an elevated risk of arbovirus transmission is expected with climate changes, compounded by an increased malaria risk. These climate challenges underscore the pressing need to comprehend and tackle the various interconnected hazards facing the city. Without identified technology-enabled solutions, the potential impact of these climate risks necessitates further research and action to safeguard the urban environment and public health.
