San Luis Potosí
Mexico
San Luis Potosí is projected to face moderate climate risks that will significantly impact its environment and socio-economic dynamics. Specifically, the city is likely to experience increased temperatures, erratic rainfall, and prolonged drought periods, posing a threat to water supply and agriculture. These conditions raise concerns over food security and livelihoods, particularly for vulnerable populations. Moreover, the potential for extreme weather events such as flash floods poses risks to infrastructure and essential services. The community's resilience is further challenged by the limited adaptive capacities available to low-income households. While assessing these climate hazards, it is important to note that we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions tailored for San Luis Potosí. Addressing these vulnerabilities requires urgent attention and strategic planning as the city prepares for an uncertain climate future.
