Jalandhar
India
Jalandhar is projected to face severe climate hazards, posing substantial risks to its environment and community. The city will likely experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, endangering public health and agricultural productivity. Furthermore, heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation are anticipated, increasing the likelihood of flooding and complicating water management efforts. Prolonged drought conditions also represent a critical vulnerability, leading to potential water scarcity issues that could affect ecosystems and food security. As these climate risks become increasingly pronounced, Jalandhar must grapple with the challenges posed by these projected environmental changes, demanding urgent attention and action.
