Dhule
India
Dhule is projected to face multiple climate hazards that threaten its environmental and public health. The city will experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes with increasing frequency, contributing to health risks for residents. Furthermore, frequent heavy precipitation is expected, which may lead to flooding and complicate urban infrastructure. Prolonged drought conditions are likely to emerge, exacerbating water scarcity and affecting agricultural output. Additionally, the projected climate impacts will elevate the risk of vector-borne diseases, particularly with increased arbovirus transmission and malaria occurrences. These climate challenges create a complex web of vulnerabilities that Dhule will need to navigate, emphasizing the urgency for a coordinated response to safeguard its communities and ecosystems.
