Moradabad
India
Moradabad is projected to experience severe climate hazards that could significantly impact its environmental stability and community well-being. The city will face extreme heat, with dangerous heat extremes becoming more common in the future. This is compounded by the anticipation of heavy rainfall events, leading to frequent heavy precipitation that poses flooding risks. Moreover, the region will likely confront prolonged drought conditions, which can intensify water scarcity and disrupt agricultural practices. The lack of documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions heightens the city’s vulnerability to these projected climate risks, underscoring the urgent need for focused action and adaptation strategies to safeguard its inhabitants against these hazards.
