Lomé
Togo
Lomé is projected to face significant climate hazards in the coming years. The city will experience frequent heatwaves, which are expected to elevate temperatures and exacerbate heat-related health issues. Prolonged drought conditions are anticipated, leading to water scarcity and negatively impacting agricultural productivity. Additionally, the region is likely to see a heightened risk of arbovirus transmission due to changing environmental conditions, which may create more favorable breeding conditions for disease-carrying mosquitoes. The risk of malaria will also increase, posing serious public health challenges. As these climate impacts intensify, Lomé's vulnerabilities will grow, making it critical to understand and address these risks to protect the city’s population and ensure sustainable development in the face of climate change.
