Ettumanoor
India
Ettumanoor will experience significant climate hazards in the coming years. The city is projected to face heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation that could lead to increased flooding and soil erosion. At the same time, prolonged drought conditions are expected, impacting agricultural productivity and water availability. Furthermore, health risks are concerning, with increased arbovirus transmission and elevated malaria risk anticipated as climate conditions favor mosquito populations. These challenges combine to enhance vulnerability, posing threats to both livelihoods and public health. Addressing these intertwined climate risks will be critical for the city's resilience in the future.
