Kryvyi Rih
Ukraine
Kryvyi Rih is projected to experience dangerous heat extremes as climate change progresses. The frequency and severity of heatwaves are expected to rise, posing serious health risks for the population, particularly among vulnerable groups. These heightened temperatures may result in increased heat-related illnesses and greater mortality rates. Moreover, the strain on water resources is anticipated to impact agriculture and food security within the city. Infrastructure may also be affected as energy demands for cooling escalate during extreme heat events. Overall, these climate hazards present significant challenges for the city, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities and underscoring the urgent need for effective strategies. The lack of documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions further complicates this scenario, necessitating proactive measures to address the burgeoning risks associated with dangerous heat extremes in Kryvyi Rih.
