Kaduna
Nigeria
Kaduna is projected to face significant climate hazards that endanger both public health and the environment. The city will experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes that could worsen health conditions and affect agricultural output. Furthermore, it faces increasing instances of heavy precipitation, likely resulting in flooding that can disrupt communities and damage infrastructure. Prolonged drought conditions are expected to strain water resources, posing risks to food security. Additionally, the region will see heightened arbovirus transmission risks, raising concerns about mosquito-borne diseases, particularly malaria. These vulnerabilities underscore the urgent need for climate resilience measures.
