Gwalior
India
Gwalior is projected to face numerous climate hazards that could severely impact its resilience. The city will experience extreme heat, with dangerous heat extremes likely affecting public health and agriculture. Additionally, Gwalior is expected to face frequent heavy precipitation, leading to potential flooding and infrastructure damage. Compounding the situation, the city will also confront prolonged drought conditions, threatening water availability and food security. The interplay of these climate risks highlights Gwalior's vulnerabilities, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of these challenges to safeguard the community's future against the anticipated impacts of climate change.
