Hamedan

Iran

Hamedan is projected to face severe climate challenges, predominantly extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes. The frequency and intensity of heat events are expected to increase, placing immense pressure on public health and local infrastructure. Vulnerable communities may suffer from exposure to these climatic conditions, leading to potential health risks and agricultural disruptions. As temperatures rise, the situation could become increasingly critical, affecting water supply and overall living conditions. The local capacity to manage these risks remains uncertain, as technology-enabled climate resilience solutions have not yet been documented for the city, leaving Hamedan facing significant vulnerabilities without established protective measures.
