Fez

Morocco

Fez is projected to face a future characterized by extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which may significantly impact the health and safety of its inhabitants. As temperature levels continue to rise, the city will likely experience prolonged periods of intense heat, intensifying the risk of heat-related illnesses and complications, especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. Additionally, economic activities may suffer due to increased energy demand for cooling and potential disruptions in local services. The cumulative effects of these climate hazards necessitate urgent attention to improve community resilience. With technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for Fez not yet documented, addressing these vulnerabilities remains essential to ensure the city can thrive amid these projected climate challenges. Proactive measures and public awareness will be crucial in mitigating the risks posed by this extreme heat scenario.
