Nice
France
Nice is projected to face several moderate climate risks that could impact its environment and infrastructure. Rising temperatures are anticipated, increasing the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, while more intense precipitation events may lead to flooding and challenges in stormwater management. The coastal location also exposes the city to sea-level rise, resulting in potential erosion and damage to waterfront properties. Additionally, shifts in local ecosystems could challenge biodiversity, affecting the natural resources and landscapes that are vital to the region. Addressing these climate hazards will be essential as Nice navigates these pressures on its environment and community.
