Dushanbe
Tajikistan
Dushanbe is projected to experience increased climate risks due to frequent heavy precipitation. This situation raises concerns about potential flooding, especially in urban settings with limited drainage capacity. Additionally, heavier rainfall can lead to soil erosion and landslides, threatening infrastructure and natural ecosystems. The repercussions on agriculture can impact food security and water supply, compounding the vulnerabilities faced by the community. With the increasing frequency and intensity of these precipitation events, the city is set to face growing challenges related to climate resilience. Technology-enabled solutions to mitigate these risks have not yet been documented for this city, highlighting the urgency for addressing these vulnerabilities as climate change progresses.
