Patiala
India
Patiala is projected to face significant climate hazards that threaten its resilience. The city will experience extreme heat, with dangerous heat extremes becoming more common. Heavy rainfall events are expected to increase, leading to localized flooding. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions may result in water scarcity, affecting agriculture and other sectors dependent on water resources. These climate risks highlight Patiala's vulnerabilities in the coming years. While understanding these challenges is critical, we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for the city. Proactive measures will be essential in addressing the anticipated hazards to secure a sustainable future for Patiala.
