Genoa

Italy

Genoa is projected to face significant climate hazards, primarily characterized by an increase in heavy rainfall events. These extreme weather occurrences are expected to lead to heightened flooding risks, with implications for infrastructure and public safety. As rainfall patterns evolve, both the frequency and intensity of such events are likely to escalate, further exacerbating existing vulnerabilities. The increased runoff from heavy rain can surpass the city’s drainage capacity, leading to localized flooding that disrupts transportation and essential services. Additionally, these conditions may heighten the risk of landslides, impacting people and property, particularly in hilly areas. Collectively, without documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for Genoa, the city faces critical challenges in addressing and managing the anticipated impacts of heavy rainfall and associated hazards, necessitating urgent attention.
