Odesa
Ukraine
Odesa is projected to face moderate climate risks that will significantly impact the city in the coming years. As temperatures rise, the city is likely to experience more frequent heatwaves, adversely affecting public health. Additionally, altered precipitation patterns could result in flooding, jeopardizing infrastructure and water quality. Its coastal location increases vulnerability to rising sea levels, which poses threats of coastal erosion and habitat loss. These changes may also influence local agriculture and fisheries, affecting food security in the region. Therefore, adapting to these climate risks is vital for Odesa's sustainability and resilience, although current research has not documented specific technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for the city. Addressing these issues will be essential for maintaining the city's livability in a changing climate.
Hazard Outlook
How will Odesa's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Odesa may experience heatwaves lasting up to 7 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Elevation
At 50 m elevation, Odesa faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Odesa's projected maximum temperature of 9.3°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Odesa ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Odesa's projected maximum rainfall of 6 mm is lower than most cities globally.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Odesa faces high exposure to heatwave and elevated exposure to elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
