Hodeidah
Yemen
Hodeidah is projected to face severe climate hazards that create vulnerabilities for its residents. Frequent heavy precipitation will likely result in flooding, whilst prolonged drought conditions may lead to water scarcity and affect agriculture. Additionally, the city will experience high arbovirus transmission risk, raising concerns about the prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases. Elevated malaria risk will also be a significant challenge as the conditions support the breeding of malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Together, these factors contribute to a precarious future, making it crucial to address these risks and their implications for public health and environmental integrity in the region.
Hazard Outlook
How will Hodeidah's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
