Srinagar

India

Srinagar is projected to face a future where moderate climate risks become more pronounced, including alterations in precipitation patterns and rising temperatures. The city will likely experience increased flooding incidents during heavy rainfall, along with significant impacts on water quality and availability. Additionally, the region's geographical characteristics may result in heightened soil erosion and landslide risks. This changing climate threatens the city's ecological balance and may adversely affect agriculture and local biodiversity. As the climate risks exacerbate, understanding these vulnerabilities is crucial for planning and adaptation efforts, highlighting the need for technology-enabled climate resilience solutions that remain to be documented for this region.
