Oujda

Morocco

Oujda is projected to face moderate climate risks, including rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns, which could significantly impact water resources and agricultural productivity. The region may experience increased drought frequency and extreme weather events, leading to heightened vulnerabilities in infrastructure and public health. Urban expansion may exacerbate the impacts of heatwaves and flooding, posing additional risks to the local community. Furthermore, we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions tailored for this city, emphasizing the importance of developing effective strategies to enhance resilience. It is critical for Oujda to focus on adaptive measures and community engagement as it navigates the challenges presented by climate change, working towards minimizing potential adverse effects and securing a sustainable future for its residents.
