Qom

Iran

Qom is projected to face severe climate hazards in the coming years, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which may pose serious health risks to its inhabitants. The city will experience prolonged drought conditions, leading to increased water scarcity and adverse impacts on agriculture, livelihoods, and local ecosystems. These extreme heat events could exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, putting pressure on public health systems and increasing mortality rates, particularly among vulnerable populations. In addition, the prolonged drought may disrupt food security and access to clean water, further challenging the residents' resilience. As Qom grapples with these climate challenges, the need to adapt to the increasingly harsh conditions becomes imperative. Addressing these vulnerabilities is crucial for ensuring the city's long-term sustainability and livability in the face of changing climatic circumstances, yet we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for this city.
