Balrampur
India
Balrampur is projected to face a series of climate hazards that will increase its vulnerabilities. The city will experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, creating health risks for residents. Additionally, heavy rainfall events could lead to flooding and significant damage to infrastructure, while prolonged drought conditions are likely to impact water availability and agricultural output. The area will also face a high risk of arbovirus transmission, influenced by the rising temperatures and stagnant water following intense rainfall. These climate challenges require careful consideration for future planning to address the multifaceted risks posed to the community.
