Bangui

Central African Republic

Bangui is projected to face a future characterized by extreme heat, with increased frequency of such events impacting agricultural productivity and air quality. The city will experience more frequent heavy precipitation events, raising the risk of flooding and waterlogging. Prolonged drought conditions may also emerge, threatening water availability and food security. Additionally, elevated arbovirus transmission risks and a higher incidence of malaria will challenge public health efforts. These climate hazards collectively represent a significant threat to the city's communities and ecosystems, necessitating comprehensive understanding and proactive planning to address these vulnerabilities.
