Warri

Nigeria

Warri is projected to face significant climate hazards, including frequent heavy precipitation and prolonged drought conditions. These challenges will likely result in increased flooding, threaten agricultural productivity, and strain water resources. The city also faces a high risk of arbovirus transmission, increasing health concerns as the climate changes. Additionally, an elevated malaria risk poses a critical public health challenge. These interlinked hazards suggest that Warri must prepare for serious implications on health, environment, and local economies as climate variability intensifies, necessitating urgent attention to resilience strategies to address these vulnerabilities effectively.
