Resilience Scanner

Nyala is projected to face significant climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, along with frequent heatwaves. The city is expected to contend with prolonged drought conditions, heavily impacting water supply and agriculture. Frequent heavy precipitation events will also raise the risk of flooding. Additionally, the health landscape will be affected, as there is an elevated malaria risk and high arbovirus transmission potential. These climate risks, resulting from extreme weather patterns, will intensify existing vulnerabilities, creating urgent challenges for public health and safety. Addressing these threats is vital for safeguarding the well-being of the city’s inhabitants.
