Seville

Spain

Seville is projected to experience severe climate hazards, particularly extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes. These conditions are expected to intensify with climate change, leading to increased public health risks like heat-related illnesses and potential stress on water resources. The city may also face challenges in maintaining urban ecosystems under escalating temperatures. Infrastructure and architectural designs might not be sufficiently equipped to handle these extreme conditions, complicating efforts to maintain livability and sustainability. Without documented technology-enabled resilience solutions, the need for proactive climate adaptation strategies becomes increasingly important as Seville navigates these future climate challenges.
