N'Djamena

Chad

N'Djamena is projected to experience critical climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, intensifying health risks in the region. The city will also face frequent heavy precipitation, which raises the threat of flooding and infrastructure damage. Prolonged drought conditions may disrupt water supply and agricultural activities. Additionally, the risk of high arbovirus transmission and elevated malaria cases will likely increase, compounding public health vulnerabilities. These factors collectively paint a stark picture of the challenges N'Djamena will face in adapting to changing climate conditions and maintaining resilience against the increasingly hostile environment.
