Tangier

Morocco

Tangier is projected to experience an increase in the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, significantly affecting the city’s climate resilience. These frequent heat events pose grave risks to public health, particularly for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, potentially leading to heat-related illnesses and fatalities. The rising temperatures may also exacerbate existing water scarcity issues, impacting both residents and agriculture. Additionally, the sustained demand for cooling solutions during extreme heat can strain energy resources, affecting overall utility provision. Urban infrastructure may face challenges as it may not be fully equipped to handle these severe weather conditions, further amplifying the city’s vulnerabilities. To date, we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for Tangier, underscoring the need for proactive measures to combat these emerging climate risks. The anticipated impacts require immediate planning and investment to enhance the city’s readiness for these climate challenges.
