Mbuji-Mayi

Democratic Republic of the Congo

Mbuji-Mayi is projected to face a future characterized by multiple climate hazards that heighten its vulnerability to health risks and environmental challenges. The city will experience frequent heatwaves, which can contribute to heat-related health issues and strain water resources. Additionally, it is expected to endure heavy precipitation events that lead to flooding and pose a risk of waterborne diseases. Furthermore, the elevated risk of arbovirus transmission, like dengue, intensifies as climate conditions favor vector growth. Moreover, Mbuji-Mayi will see an increased malaria risk, driven by changes in rainfall patterns and temperature. The combination of these climate challenges underscores a critical need for proactive measures to mitigate their impacts, yet technology-enabled climate resilience solutions have not yet been documented for this city.
