Abeokuta

Nigeria

Abeokuta is projected to face several significant climate hazards that may profoundly affect its community and environment. Prolonged drought conditions are expected, which could lead to water scarcity and reduced agricultural yields. Furthermore, the city will experience a higher risk of arbovirus transmission, posing health challenges, particularly during warmer months. The elevated risk of malaria will also need to be addressed, as it will likely increase with changing climate patterns. These interrelated conditions signify that Abeokuta's vulnerability to climate change poses challenges for health and food security, demanding proactive measures to mitigate these impacts.
