Sagar
India
Sagar is projected to face severe climate challenges, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes that will exacerbate health risks. Heavy rainfall events and frequent precipitation are expected, increasing the likelihood of flooding and associated infrastructure damage. Additionally, the city will experience prolonged drought conditions, which can stress water resources and impact agriculture. The region is also at heightened risk for arbovirus transmission and elevated malaria risk, making public health a significant concern in the face of climate change. Without identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions, the vulnerabilities associated with these climate hazards may pose profound challenges for the community, necessitating urgent attention to address the impending impacts of climate change effectively.
