Casablanca

Morocco

Casablanca is projected to face significant climate hazards, particularly an increase in frequent heatwaves. These extreme temperature events are expected to strain public health systems and exacerbate heat-related illnesses among vulnerable populations. Additionally, the city will experience an elevated risk of malaria, primarily due to changing climatic and environmental conditions that favor mosquito proliferation. The rise in temperatures and the alteration of local ecosystems create an environment conducive to the spread of malaria, posing a direct threat to public health. As these climate phenomena intensify, residents may encounter hardships related to energy demand, water resources, and agricultural productivity. The cumulative effects of these hazards underscore the city's vulnerabilities and necessitate a closer examination of adaptive strategies in response to these projections. Without documented technology-enabled solutions, the resilience of the city's infrastructure and community well-being will be critically challenged in the coming years.
