Donetsk
Ukraine
Donetsk is projected to experience significant climate hazards, particularly frequent heavy precipitation. This trend is likely to increase the risk of flooding, soil erosion, and pressure on aging infrastructure, creating vulnerabilities for residents and the local economy. As heavy rainfall becomes more common, water management systems will face greater challenges, potentially affecting agriculture and food security. Additionally, the associated health risks, especially in vulnerable low-lying areas, may escalate. With climate impacts intensifying, it is essential for city planners and stakeholders to anticipate these changes and prepare for their consequences. Technology-enabled solutions for climate resilience in Donetsk have not yet been documented, highlighting a critical area for future research and development, especially as the city grapples with these projected climate risks.
Hazard Outlook
How will Donetsk's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Donetsk ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Longest Heatwave
Donetsk may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Temperature
Donetsk's projected maximum temperature of 9.4°C is near the median of cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Elevation
At 198 m elevation, Donetsk faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Rainfall
Donetsk's projected maximum rainfall of 6 mm is lower than most cities globally.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Donetsk faces high exposure to heavy rain and elevated exposure to heatwave. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
