Ahmedabad

India

Ahmedabad is projected to face multiple climate hazards, significantly impacting its resilience and livability. The city will likely endure extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, heightening health risks. Heavy rainfall and frequent precipitation events are expected to lead to flooding, jeopardizing infrastructure and public safety. Prolonged drought conditions will exacerbate water scarcity, affecting agriculture and water supply. Additionally, a high risk of arbovirus transmission presents serious public health concerns. As these climate vulnerabilities intensify, Ahmedabad's capacity to cope with these changing conditions will be increasingly challenged, emphasizing the need for comprehensive strategies to address and adapt to these climatic shifts.
