Nagpur

India

Nagpur is projected to face significant climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes that threaten public health and well-being. The city will experience intensified heavy rainfall events, leading to potential flooding and infrastructure damage. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions will heighten water scarcity, complicating agricultural practices and food security. The risk of elevated arbovirus transmission and increased malaria cases due to changing climatic conditions adds to the public health concerns. These compounding hazards indicate that Nagpur faces a future characterized by increased climate vulnerabilities, necessitating comprehensive climate resilience assessments and adaptive strategies to mitigate these risks.
