Ciudad Juárez

Mexico

Ciudad Juárez is projected to face significant climate hazards that pose serious risks to its environment and community. The city will experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which are expected to intensify over time, potentially leading to severe health impacts and increased mortality rates among vulnerable populations. Additionally, frequent heavy precipitation is anticipated, which may cause flooding, disrupt infrastructure, and overwhelm local water management systems. These climate risks will exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, posing challenges to food security, water supply, and public health. Without effective adaptation strategies documented for the region, Ciudad Juárez confronts a future where these climate hazards could become increasingly disruptive, necessitating urgent attention and action to minimize their impacts and enhance resilience in the face of these growing challenges.
