Tijuana
Mexico
Tijuana will experience a future characterized by frequent heatwaves, posing significant climate risks to its residents and infrastructure. These extreme temperatures are projected to contribute to public health challenges, including heat-related illnesses, particularly affecting vulnerable populations. Increased energy demands during heat events could strain local resources, while rising temperatures may exacerbate water scarcity issues, putting pressure on the already limited supply. Moreover, the combination of these factors threatens to impact urban infrastructure and the economy. As climate change progresses, Tijuana's resilience will be increasingly tested, emphasizing the critical need for effective strategies to mitigate the adverse effects related to worsening heatwaves and related challenges.
