Tahoua
Niger
Tahoua is projected to face significant climate hazards that threaten its community and environment. Extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes will likely increase health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. The city also faces frequent heavy precipitation, which may lead to flooding and infrastructure challenges. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions can impact water supply, agriculture, and food security. Moreover, the region will experience a high risk of arbovirus transmission, further exacerbating public health concerns during warmer periods. These compounding climate hazards highlight the urgent need for awareness and preparedness to ensure the resilience of the region against these impending challenges.
