Tuxtla Gutiérrez
Mexico
Tuxtla Gutiérrez is projected to face increasing climate hazards in the future, particularly frequent heatwaves and a heightened risk of malaria. The intensification of heat events will likely lead to serious public health challenges, impacting vulnerable populations significantly. Additionally, the changing climate is expected to create conditions favorable for the spread of malaria, exposing more individuals to the risks associated with this disease. The dual threat of heatwaves and malaria presents a complex scenario for public health and urban management, especially in communities that may already be disadvantaged. It is important to note that we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for this city, amplifying concerns about its capacity to adapt effectively to these emerging challenges. Hence, proactive measures are essential to address these vulnerabilities and safeguard the well-being of the city's residents against the impactful realities of climate change.
