Qarshi
Uzbekistan
Qarshi faces a future where extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes are projected to intensify significantly. These hazardous conditions are likely to increase the rates of heat-related health issues, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly. Furthermore, prolonged high temperatures pose serious threats to agriculture, potentially leading to decreased crop yields and heightened food insecurity. Water scarcity may also worsen as heat extremes become more frequent, compounding the region's challenges. The impact on local infrastructure may hinder adaptation efforts, stressing the need for proactive measures to mitigate these effects. There are currently no documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions specifically for Qarshi, underscoring the necessity for targeted research and data collection. Addressing these climate threats is essential for safeguarding public health, food security, and overall resilience in the region.
