Querétaro
Mexico
Querétaro is projected to face moderate climate risks, which could significantly impact its environment and economy. Expected changes in precipitation patterns and temperature fluctuations may lead to drought, straining water resources crucial for communities and agriculture. Increased intensity of rainfall could result in urban flooding, jeopardizing infrastructure and public safety. The region's agricultural sector might encounter declining productivity, challenging food security and local livelihoods. These interconnected hazards are likely to amplify existing vulnerabilities, necessitating proactive adaptation strategies. Nonetheless, technology-enabled climate resilience solutions have not yet been documented for Querétaro, indicating a gap in preparedness and response. It is crucial for further research to be conducted to comprehensively address the climate risks facing the city.
