Mokolo
Cameroon
Mokolo is projected to face significant climate hazards that will heighten vulnerabilities in the region. Extreme heat will lead to dangerous heat extremes, negatively impacting public health. Additionally, the city is expected to experience more frequent heavy precipitation, increasing the risk of flooding. This situation will create a conducive environment for higher arbovirus transmission rates, notably dengue fever and Zika virus, while also elevating malaria risks due to favorable conditions for mosquito breeding. The interplay of these climate risks is anticipated to place considerable strain on local public health and infrastructure, necessitating proactive strategies to mitigate these challenges and aid community resilience in the face of changing climate patterns.
Hazard Outlook
How will Mokolo's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
