Dehradun
India
Dehradun is projected to face significant climate hazards, including increased heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation. These changes are likely to lead to flooding, soil erosion, and damages to infrastructure, severely impacting daily life and economic activities in the city. Additionally, the risk of malaria is expected to elevate, as warmer temperatures and increased rainfall provide favorable conditions for mosquito breeding. The city's public health resources will be under strain due to these projected health risks. Currently, we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions specific to Dehradun, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive planning and strategies to address these vulnerabilities and prepare for the impacts of climate change.
