Yamunanagar
India
Yamunanagar is projected to face significant climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which will threaten the well-being of its residents. Additionally, the city is likely to experience heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation, leading to heightened risks of flooding and soil erosion. Prolonged drought conditions may also arise, exacerbating water scarcity and agricultural challenges. The combination of these climate factors creates an environment susceptible to various health risks, particularly a high risk of arbovirus transmission, which can lead to outbreaks of diseases. The interaction of extreme heat with heavy rainfall and drought could further strain local resources and impact public health. As these climate hazards become more frequent and intense, the city must confront its vulnerabilities, which indicate a critical need for resilience strategies. Technology-enabled climate resilience solutions have not yet been documented for Yamunanagar, limiting proactive adaptation efforts.
